If umpires can be assigned to games. Umpires can be assigned to be at a recruitment boothThe first problem with umpires fixing the umpire shortage is that umpires get paid for one thing: working games. Recruiting doesn’t pay. Anything outside of working games is voluntary. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be volunteering, but the reality is it won’t happen. I like @RADcatcher ‘s idea about having a tent/booth at tournaments … but the reality is I’m working games if I’m at a tournament.

Maybe the folks who run the Umpire business prefer a shortage to drive the price up? Don't know....but since the reality is they could do more recruiting and reach thousands of people and they don't , ATLEAST a recruitment poster stop the shortage complaining and do something. Could be added to all the softball venue websites.
Here is Triple Crown zoom into June this weekend.
At several different field locations.
Opportunity awaits!
