Rut,
Yes, our association supplies 1099 forms to each ref come tax time. It's nice not having to keep track of each paycheck from schools. As I said, there are ways to make up meetings and you can be excused if you are reffing a game that night as well. It's really not sucky" at all..in fact, it's quite nice. As someone else already posted, we don't ever have to deal with angry coaches and we don't have to worry about getting paid...it's all handled by the association. The association is set up to assist referees, not make things difficult.
We have several college officials in our association as well (including D-1), although they aren't rated in the top ten of our association. The board helps them make up meetings if they have to miss them due to college ball committments.
As you well know, training for high school officiating refs wouldn't be exactly the same as training for college refs. One isn't necessarily better than the other..they are just different in some ways. Therefore it makes sense that the college refs would be expected to attend. It's hard to be on the same page as your partner when they are officiating with college rules and mechanics in a high school game.
