Umpires are to be paid by the home team coach prior to the game.
For Minors and Majors, umpires will earn $30/game as part of a crew (typically there are two umpires for each game). Umpires will earn $50/game if the DYB umpire works the game alone.
In the event of a game being canceled prior to the start of the game but after the umpires have arrived they are to be paid half of their fee.
Once a game has begun the umpires will keep the full amount if the game is called due to weather.
Umpires will be paid the full amount for forfeited games.
