What I meant was "here" where I live. CT.
They contract with Leagues and there are clauses that are required for the leagues to follow, just as there are clauses that the officials must follow. In each case it costs someone money if there are screw ups.
Now, if in your area you have to contract your services out independently, then as already has been suggested, make sure you have a contract wether written (preferrably) or verbal.
There are many leagues and managers out there that will spend bogoo bucks for equipment, travel and everything else for their teams except, when it comes to the officials. Then they want to nickle and dime you to get your services free. yes some volunteer work is admirable and sometimes good just to get your name out there however, you spend a lot of money on equipment and time learning this profession, you should be justly compensated.
Heck most of us should make $400/game just for all the time we spend on this forum!!!!!
