In Texas varsity games are based on the gate receipts, so the pay is something like $40 on up. In most varsity games, the officials should make a minimum of about $75 and on up. $200+ may be rare, but certainly not out of the question, and $125-175 happens frequently in the larger metro areas.
Sub varsity pay rate is supposed to change this year with a flat $40 per game. In Texas, sub varsity means JV down to 7th grade. Everything else we call "pee-wee" which could be YMCA, city leagues, or CYO (if there are any around). From what I hear, most of those leagues around here pay $40 a game. Not bad since working 4 games is fairly easy (from what I'm told).
Texas varsity is 5 man. Period. The only exception would be a man going down during the game and the R not wanting to insert one of the chain guys (which is stupid). At any rate, our secretary will have a 5th guy at the game, even if someone is a late scratch.
