The official that does the game by him/herself is paid an extra 50% of the game fee. His/her game fee just went from $36 to $54. The other $18 stays with the association and is used for the social night, education (sending newbies to camp), etc....
Since most assignments are double headers, missing usually amounts to being fined upwards of $70-$80, and as high as $100 or slightly more than $100.

I would refuse to do a 1-man game unless I received 100% of the other person's game fee if I work the whole game by myself.
In my HS association if you do 1 quarter by yourself you get 25%, 2 quarters = 50%, 3 quarters = 75%, and 4 or more = 100%. I will not work Rec or AAU games that don't have the same policy.
