Think about it from a typical HS official standpoint. We get $35/game for a Varsity Game (3-person). That doesn't include mileage ($0.585/mile). I called one VG game earlier this season (3-person), and made $148 (+/-). So I can say I made $148 for the game, but that would be misleading.

That being said, I have a friend D1-Women's who said he went to work a tournament once (D1), and called two games. He received a check for just over $4500. Now that I could live with . . .
Yeah, but the games were in Hawaii. Expensive chunk taken out of that check. On the other hand -- free vacation.
