If they won't give you 5 on the Varsity, try what we did. If the section would agree that all officials on the field get paid a full fee, convince some of the schools to put 5 on the field. The more the coaches saw it they liked it. We started the season with 12 schools and ended up adding at least 5 schools during the season.

Surprising your fees are so much lower as the financial conditions are almost the same. Suffolk is the least expensive of (Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk) and the highest fee for football. There was a re-opener when the clock rule changed -- the morning games started one-half hour earlier and we documented the longer varsity games. That gave us a $2 increase.
Will pass on your strategy on getting five.
