Second Answer.It's usually only one umpire. All the games I've played in, there's always been only one umpire. And, I've played softball all my life.

There can be 2 or 3 umpires for each softball game. One umpire stands behind home plate and calls balls and strikes as well as other plays on the field. The other two are the first base umpire and the third base umpire.
In regular season games there are 4 umpires, one stationed at each base and behind home plate. In the post season (playoffs) there are 6 umpires, the 2 additional umpires are on the foul lines, located about half way in the outfield
usually 2, one for the left side and one for the right side of the court, this way makes it alot easier

Multiple umpires-usually two, three or four, but sometimes six for championship games-are typically assigned to a game.
