Scrimmages here are free and through the association. Last year our association collected the list from schools, then chose an evaluator for each date. Then there were sign-ups at one of the meetings -- three ref's plus the evaluator. We were "encouraged" to work at least twice, where we took turns on the court by quarter and received feedback from the evaluator. (We have a board of evaluators composed of our higher-rated officials.) I worked three dates and will take as many as I can get. The practice is good for anti-rust, and the feedback is (generally) helpful.
BTW, we also hold a coaches meeting at the beginning of the year to talk about rule changes and POE. We distribute to each school our listing of their games, providing them a chance to check for errors. (We want to avoid games with no ref's.) Those schools who do not show up for the meeting are last on the list to have their scrimmages supported. Since we do not have enough officials anyway....
