Do umpires deserve a prize?
I saw the IW women's final umpire being presented with an expensive watch.
Do umpires deserve this? |

Well, economics is a matter of demand and supply.
Why not give prizes to the ball-persons and linespeople and the water guy and the security guards too? |

if they call the nadal out for time violation and other cheating stuff, a little bonus wouldn't be unappropriate.

well said sureshs -- people who have to move a great deal should be compensated handsomely. By this analysis, you and your colleagues in science, sitting at a laptop and barely moving, do not warrant compensation? Dopey thread; it's not an appealing trait that you moan when someone else receives a gift. It really shouldn't bother you so much. At what age were you weaned?

A good pair of glasses or maybe binoculars would be appropriate

These days umpires are also getting Maui Jim sunglasses for free as part of the promotion.
