That's how it is done here on the Peninsula. Our elected assigner/commissioner (2 year term) negotiates game fees with leagues/schools. Our pay roll sheets that accompany our checks reflect the negotiated game fee for each game minus the 8% commissioner's fee. The commissioner does not get any cut of our travel fees.
Our by-laws state that association members cannot work in leagues and tournaments for which our association unsuccessfully bid. Our assocation has all HS & MS ball locked up on the peninsula so this almost always applies to rec leagues and one particular military tournament. This is definitely a bone of contention among our constituency.
