The only time I have gotten paid to do Varsity was at 3A/4A Regionals. The one Varsity game I did last year as timer at CHS I was volunteer. All the time I do shot clock for Varsity, I'm volunteer.
I've been out of high school for 10 years, & could really care less if I was getting paid or not. I do it as a service to the school/community.
Others unfortunately only care about lining their pockets
The only pay anyone working table should get is free admission & free snacks from the concession stand, nothing more. As far as I'm concerned the only ones that should be getting paid are the floor officials since they have to go through all the training & certification to be there.

I guess if you wanted to get more adults to do the lower level games, you could make sure they get paid for those games. Even still, some people wouldn't want to do it. You can place restrictions like mandating someone do two games, but when that pool of those that want to be at the table is small as it is, placing restrictions doesn't help. Plus paying an adult for the sub-varsity as well would be an additional cost that schools would have to pay. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather have 3 officials for varsity than have that money go to having an adult for a sub-varsity game.
