All told I'll see a net gain for most games I work but I won't have much incentive to drive very far out of the way if I can avoid it.
Back when, our pay started from downtown Dallas, and the further out you went the more money you made. A travel fee for me back then I could drive two miles to a nearby school and make $16.00. My partner might have to drive thirty miles, and get the same 16.00. I simply got tired of driving to a game where I would have made $36.00 travel on my own, but the other person with the shortest drive got to split the highest mileage with their partner. We each made $18.00 for example.

If they were going to pay us by mileage, pay the person for the mileage they drove. I got stuck the first year of this working some DISD sub varsity games solo that where close to my house. I was making $8.00, and doing the game by myself.

Set fees are much better............especially to the person who drives the farthest.
