After we all go home, we are all expected to rate our partners and the officials in the other game. These ratings are sent, secretly, to our commissioner at the end of the year. There is some talk on our board this year that junior varsity officials, especially junior varsity officials with limited experience, should not be allowed to rate varsity officials.
That is all good, but is it necessary/reasonable to expect that the Varsity officials get to the JV game in time for the JV officials to dress, pregame, etc....perhaps 45 minutes or more before the game. On the flip side, is it reasonable to expect the JV officials to hand around after the varsity game while the varsity officials shower.

Seperate mileage for each crew (if mileage is paid at all) is the only equitable thing to do.
