How many youth/rec tournaments would you say don't pay for their officials? In our area, we have four days worth of tournaments. These tournaments are hosted by two local schools and their b-ball teams and we area refs have spent the previous three months covering the underclassmen games. I imagine they believe this is our chance to pay them back. One local church has a tournament and they pay $25 a game on a 74 foot floor. Three steps and you're in the front court. They don't have a lot of trouble finding guys to work those games. The schools make sure we get a sandwich for our work.
