Solution? Have the visitors pay the mileage and specify in advance the maximum "crew radius" they will accept.

Most conferences have a mileage limit. With the exception of the "unlimited" conference, the maximum mileage we get around here is $35.
The problem in these rural areas is that they simply don't have a lot of varsity-level officials in these areas. Some of the JV guys we see (who are, of course, local) are frighteningly bad. Last night I watched about 3 minutes of the JV game -- one guy actually seemed to have pretty good mechanics and I was ready to be pleasantly surprised. Then he called two phantom fouls where I could see at least a foot of daylight between the two players and I suddenly had the urge to go get dressed and stretch.
