[26 Year Gap]

Depends on the assignors, but many are deducting $2 per game from the post-season mileage checks. Others request payment of the assignment fees directly--usually $2 per game. Some assignors do not charge anything. Some ADs do their own assigning.

Game fees are paid on site 75% of the time and the others mail them within two weeks. Most require a W-9 [I have never had to fill one out in subsequent years] and some require a voucher for each game. The business managers are the ones who have caused most of the problems here in Vermont with delays of payment and the ADs who do not have checks at the game site are without exception apologetic for the changes [which have occurred at about mid-season 2004-05].

All in all, it does not seem to be too bad a system here with the exception of the two game fees split 3 ways with 3 man crews.
