Lightbulb We have had it for awhile now.......

but this is how they did it. For almost all the Class A schools, they require you to do both games (JV and Varsity). I guess I should clairfy, if the school is in conferences that do not have assignors. If they have assignors, the assignors make sure that two sets of officials do the games separately. And the assignors know that they do not want they varsity officials getting tired over a JV game. And to do that, in essence you take a pay cut if you do both games. Before you might have made $45 to 50 dollars for one varsity game. If you do both games, you might get $60. So you probably only made 10 or $15 total for one extra game. Alot of guys do not like that.

I do one conference that pays $60 for a 3 Person varsity crew (each man/women). But I think they feel they have to, mainly because the conference is spread out all over Northern Illinois. They might not get officials to travel if they do not pay them like that. At least that is what I think.

I do know this, the Chicago Public League is not about to go 3 Person anytime soon from reports I have heard. And this conference has some of the best teams and players in this state. They need 3 Officials on the floor as much as anyone. And there claim is much of what you guys have stated, money.

Peace
