Independent Contractors ...

That is why we have assignors that work for the conferences and they can hire anyone they want. This was actually made sure this was the case by taking out of LOA Constitutions to have anything to do with hiring for games.
I beginning to wonder if officials here in Connecticut, in regard to interscholastic games, are not really true independent contractors, but are only considered such for reasons such as checking a box on various tax forms.

On W-9's (that most schools, including all the state technical schools, have us sign) most of us check off "Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC".

I'm pretty sure that we are independent contractors in regard to recreation games, travel games, men's league games, etc.

I'll have to check with my accounting firm, Dewey, Cheatem & Howe.
