We are necessary evils.
Some crews have decided to take 3 to places )where it's been blessed) and split 2 checks. I *will not* do that. If the schools want me to bring 3, they'll pay for 3. Now, if *everyone* takes a small hit and we all get $5 or $10 less to work 3, I'm all for that. It's what I've advocated all along.
But working a varsity game for $40, less than the JV officials made? It's not going to happen. Not with me involved, that is.

Here locally, before we lost the AAA contract we took a hit across the board for Varsity refs to add a 3rd official to the GV games. Before that we had been getting $75/offficial for the 3-man BV crew and 2-man GV crew. Cut our fee down to $62.50/official but it was worth it get more 3-man experience to the association, even if every girl's game really did not need that 3rd official.
