I was asked if I was interested in working some U14 tournament games. Probably 6 to 8 games in a weekend. I was asked how much I would charge and me being naive, I said probably $75. Was I too low? What are some fees others get, if I may ask? I don't want to scare them off and I don't want to cheat myself. Thanks.

I did a 10U tournament this past weekend - 5 games Saturday (would have been 6 but Friday night storm resulted in one game being moved to a different field) and 6 on Saturday. Pay was $40/game.

$75 for all the games? No Way! You need 40-50 a game.

The tournaments that I work at in my hometown pay 25 to 30 a game, which adds up to around $200 for the weekend. Not as nice as 40-50 per game as stated above, but we are treated to free food and a nice air-conditioned changing room, plus I don't have to travel (it $ucks to put gas in my truck).

I would say that 75 for the weekend would be waaay too low!

See, I told you I was naive! I was talking about the whole weekend. I've never been asked to do a tourney, so obviously I just fell off the turnip truck:) If they contact me again, I will tell them 40/ game and I'll go from there. Thanks men!

The rates depend on time limits and age group.

12U we get $41.50 a game for tournaments

Above that we get $46.50

All games are two man.

Just because its a tourny doesnt mean the rates would be a hole lot diffrent from what youd get for any other games of the same level at the same location so i would start with that information and go from there.

Jeff C:

If you choose not to umpire and have some time and will honor that rate you can come and paint my house!!!! Just kidding. We get $45/43 for these types of games.
