A little math shows me the assignor is paid "just right."
Assume 10 home games per school in a 20-game season...which is the norm in this area. 70 teams times three levels (varsity, JV & freshman) times 10 games is 2,100 games for boys and 2,100 for girls.
If the assignor did nothing else...that's 4,200 games for which he is paid $26,775...or $6.37 per game.
I know assignors in Mass. who get a full day's game fee (combined varsity, JV & freshman fees) per team for their work for the season. That is about $180 per team. For 70 schools times 2 (boys and girls), that would be $25,200...just a bit less than what Billy says his assignor gets paid. The difference is that the assignors here are paid by their leagues, not by officials...but I know that Connecticut pays higher fees to officials. It looks like after you take out the 7 percent tax, the fees are similar.
