FWIW, members of LL may also play travel ball, while also meeting the LL Tournament Rules of course. LL is fading away due to Rule inconsistency and other nonsense. Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken, among other Youth Recreational Leagues are taking over. And they refuse to pay umpires.

Yup. Officially, LL Umpires are supposed to be on a "volunteer" basis only. If they found out you were being paid, you would not be allowed to go to Regionals or LLWS. They're finding out different now. Most other Youth Leagues pay the umps, $25 > $85 per game. It's shameful on LL's part not to pay umps. They're making MILLIONS of dollars! The most disgusting statement in the LL Rule Book is : "“there is no sound reason for paying umpires, or any other person whose services should be provided on a volunteer basis.”

Little League and travel tournaments are two different animals. My son does both. I find the LL more fun to watch. It can turn into a blood bath though, in the stands. LL has great games!

Me and my brother coined the phrase "18 year-get-rich-quick-scheme-parents" back when we both did a ton of youth ball. I pretty much stick to high school these days
