anyone else have games assigned like this:
given a game that is about 25 miles from your home city. game is at 7:30 with jv at 6. One varsity guy is given $25 extra and it then becomes his job to make sure all four officials (jv and varsity) get to the site, driving them there. That means all the officials are supposed to arrive at 5:30, or whatever, in time for the jv game. varsity guys then get to sit through entire jv. To me, this is just another example of our association being completely screwed over by the schools. No way am I taking a varsity game where I am expected to show up 2 hours early and all I get is an extra $25 if I am the driver and nothing extra if I am not the driver.
any comments on this; anyone do it the same way? I feel like Boise is still in the referee dark ages
please no comments about how you ref for the love of the game and for the kids and would do it for free and I should stop whining because you used to get paid only $10 bla bla bla
