You pay the tournament fee ($200), and then you pay $35 directly to the umps for each game you play )Pay at the plate.
it just means that each team pays $35 to the umpires at the start of the game. so if there are two umps they split 70$ per game
Sounds like lazy associations running tournaments to me. If you're going to host a tournament you handle all payments to umpires and anyone else involved that requires payment. If you can't handle that then don't host a tournament.
Oh that makes sense..... so the tournament isn't an inexpensive $200 tourney its a freaking $500 tourney in disguise
