Two-person crews are regularly used throughout the state, except for a couple of associations which have gone strictly 3-person and for playoffs.

2 person - JV usually $15-20 each official

2 or 3 person - JV/JV usually $30-$40 each official

2 or 3 person - V $24.50 - $27 plus $2 for approved officials or $6 for certified officials (fee depends upon classification of schools; seldom is there a single varsity game assignment)

2 or 3 person - JV/V $36 plus $2 for approved officials or $6 for certified officials

2 or 3 person - V/V $36 plus $2 for approved officials or $6 for certified officials (THIS IS THE TYPICAL OFFICIATING ASSIGNMENT IN LOUISIANA)

2 or 3 person - JV/V/V $54 plus $2 for approved officials or $6 for certified officials

3 person State Playoffs - V $40 plus $2 for approved officials or $6 for certified officials

3 person State Tournament Game (state semifinals and finals, 3-official crew): $55

There is a 60 cents, one-way, one car mileage allowance.

I did a comparison of game fees from quite a few states a few months ago, and while it may not be completely accurate for all places (apparently there is a lot of variation in some states), there are links to the appropriate state sites so that you can check for yourself:

We are trying to do something right now about the fees in Louisiana. We've not had a "game fee" increase in over 10 years. Pray for us!
$36 for 2 varsity games? I worked in LA for a year and can't believe I don't remember the pay being that poor.
