Greedy Friendlies

[DDG]

What is the deal with the cost of some of these friendlies.

The cost for a 2 man crew is $35.00 to $40.00 each. Host are charging $65.00 per game? almost the same cost as a tournament. It is almost to the point of not being worth it.

2 easy solutions to your problem:
1. Don't go.
2. Host your own friendly and charge what ever you feel is right.

they have always been 2 man crews. The cost for 2 umps is $35.00 to $40.00 per game. 1 ump is $45.00 to $50.00 per game.

Umpire fee's have not gone up that much in the last 5 years. Friendlies are trying to make money off the games where it use to be they would only try to profit from the snack bar.

I am all for earning money for your team but let us support your snack bar & not pay tournament fees for a friendly.

Just add 25 players to your roster play 9 and the others pay the bills.
It sounds like you whant to keep more money in your pocket.

Have you seen the gas prices lately
