I recently moved to the midwest and I was shocked to see that what was taken place in my new association was not the same as my last one. When I signed up to officiate basketball I paid a one time fee for that sport for the year which was $40 which went to the association, I paid another $40 fee for the entire year which went to the state association dues. I then paid for my instructional material out of my own pocket which was $20. I then was paid at the game site when I arrived with a check in my name, with the full game fee in my check. I also worked a bunch of summer leagues and tournaments and was paid cash at the site even though the games were assigned through my association. I also liked the idea that I was not taxed at the end of the year because I didn't make enough money at that school to get taxed.

This is very similar to how it is done here in Jersey. We pay a one time fee of $125.00 before the season starts. This covers all association and state fee. You get paid your full game fee. And like you said there are no taxes to pay if you do not make over a certain amount per school. In the summer and spring almost all tournaments pay cash on the spot. There is no assigner’s fee or tax. No one gives you a 1099 or asks for you social.
I think the one thing I would like is more consistence with how we get paid.
