Streamline it so that the school pays the officials for the game and the school pays the assignor for making the assignments.
Of course not, but 25% of every game check is usury. The MA fee for a varsity game is $72, I believe. 25% of that is $18. I work roughly 20 varsity games a year. That would be a charge of $360 per season! I pay a third of that for my college schedule!!
Let the assignor negotiate an assigning fee with the schools and let the officials negotiate a game fee with the schools.

Oh wait, I see what you're so excited about.
25% is excessive, but I'm not entirely sure REFVA knows what he's talking about, he said "...
I heard that the association I work for charges a Booking fee10% to 15%, a game fee which is almost $30 over our officials pay and then they take a 10% fee out of our checks.."
In any event I understand in the MD/VA area associations assign virtually *all* games, so they don't actually act as associations they act as agents. And they take their cut off the top.
I would hate to have to have to officiate under that agreement.
