Just got this a few days ago:
Game Fees for 2019-2020
Scrimmage Fee: $150.00 (3 officials $50.00 each, 2 officials $75.00 each)
Varsity Fee: $98.47 (two person)
Sub Varsity Fee: $63.89 (junior varsity, freshman, and middle school)
In a high population concentration, geographically small, state like Connecticut, we're kept close to home and travel time/distance isn't an issue.
Automatic fee increase every year (no more yearly contract negotiations in smoke filled back rooms) is based on the average teacher raise in the state (1.3% this past year).
My local annual dues: $100.00, plus 7% assignment fee.
Maybe it's nice to officiate in 100% IAABO "Monopoly" Connecticut.
Maybe it's nice to have officials seated at the CIAC table.
Of course Connecticut does have a relatively high cost of living.
It's all relative.
