Also keep in mind that many insurance plans (not personal medical, but referee liability insurance) do not cover you for scrimmages.

In NC, if you're working an NCHSAA sanctioned game or scrimmage, the association insurance covers you.

Same thing in VA. We work scrimmages for free. A scrimmage is usually 6 quarters (think the schools can only have 2 scrimmages) and we usually have 5 or 6 officials there. We run 3-whistle for all varsity scrimmages and we trade off quarters. We use the "off" quarter to critique each other. The coaches can usually request a stop at any time so they can make a "coaching" point to the players. The score is cleared for each quarter and in most instances, we run a quarter w/o shooting any F/T's (except when shooter is fouled) and the next quarter every non-shooting foul is 1 & 1.
The association "requires" each official to work 4 scrimmages -- some of us work more and some work less. The scrimmages also allow JV officials to maybe work a varsity scrimmage.
