I have disagreed with this new scrimmage procedure since it first came up last season. Officials working scrimmages for free, or for a small, voluntary stipend for lunch, gas, and laundry, is a win, win, win, situation for all involved.

Why is it a win for the officials? If we work, we should get paid. There's too much "working for free" going on as it is, with officials working 3-person for the price of two officials.
I worked 2 scrimmages this year in football and 2 in basketball. Schools wouldn't even ask officials to work for free around here.
The best one was a 4 hour scrimmage where we had 3 officials per court (3 courts) and we were paid $100 each. And then teams dropped out and we had floaters to give breaks, too. The other scrimmages paid $40, $50, and $40 and were all about 2 hours long.
