As a 100% IAABO state, with no other high school assigners except local IAABO assigners, if you don't belong to IAABO, and don't pay your dues and fees, you don't work high school games anywhere in the state.
To compare it to other associations, apples to apples:
Our annual dues ($125.00) is approximately equal to two subvarsity fees ($63.05).
We all pay a 7% assignment fee (7% of our income) regardless of the level we officiate.
Is that grossly unfair compared to other associations?

$40 to the state, $45 to the association here. $35 if you choose to join IAABO annually.
So not only do you have a monopoly in your state, they charge exorbitant prices just to work for them. That is some kind of graft in my opinion.
