In Utah, we pay dues to the Utah High School Activities Assoc. and each area (SL, Ogden, Provo, Southern Utah) has their own association that also receives dues from each official. I believe that the assigner is employed by the UHSAA since he assigns all Varsity sports.
We've had the same assigner for about 7-8 years now.
For SL County games, (rec ball) we pay a local "association" and since we don't have any formal training programs and aren't given rule books or materials,
it basically goes to the assigner. Probably around 2 grand or so per year. Not much actually for all the headaches.
