I'm assigning some games for the first time this summer. I'm getting $42.75 per game, paying each official $20 per game. I will do better next year, but at the moment, I figure I'm getting about 89c per hour. It's not just the refs having emergencies, it's the league director changing things around. Cancel games, add games, different gym, and "oops! I forgot to mention I need all varsity refs for the varsity games." It's kind of fun getting acquainted with lots of folks and finding out who's good and who's not, who gets along and who doesn't. But it sure has been a lot of work.
The two other major summer leagues that operate around here pay $16 JV/$18 varsity, and $15 per game. Most of the minor summer tournaments are between 15 and 20.
