We assign DH in various sports here -- not often basketball. But when someone works 2 baseball or 2 softball games, the fee is twice the single game fee. Why wouldn't it be?

Not the case where I work in Iowa. Fees vary by conference, but I never get double for a basketball doubleheader. The big 4A conference I work in pays $75 for a single 3 person varsity game and we always just work one game. When I work smaller schools it's always a girl/boy doubleheader and we only get $90 working 3 person. Needless to say I try to work as few games as possible at the smaller schools. They only pay travel to the person who drives the farthest so if I'm not working with my regular guys who live in my area I could drive 50 miles each way and get no travel pay. Not worth it.
All HS baseball dates in Iowa are doubleheaders so there really isn't a one game fee. Generally $110 for a varsity doubleheader which I think is still low considering how long they can take.
