For me personally, all other things being equal, I would work for a dollar or two less per game if I knew I was being paid that day. Plus, I would think comparing timesheets to actual games would take more time than simply having the checkbook at the site, and having the attending board member approve the checks for that night. Schools do it all the time.

All Board members are volunteers, including our treasurer. All checks must be signed by both the president and the treasurer. The assignor submits the actual worked schedule to the treasurer at the end of each month then she matches that against the pay sheets that each official mails in. Then she mails checks. Believe it or not, some guys actually wait until the end of the season and submit all games at once!
There's no way both of them could be at every game, especially since we play at many different sites at the same time on Friday nights and Saturdays. We have about 120 teams in the program.
Let's face it. If we asked the treasurer to do a lot more work, we might not get anyone to volunteer.
You commented on when we receive our revenue. It's totally through registration fees and they are all paid prior to the season starting. All registration is on line.
