In central Ohio, it is pretty much standard that scheduled scrimmages are at half pay, with the vast majority getting contracts and everything, just like regular season games (just at half pay).
There was a 12 team, 3 hour scrimmage that I did this weekend for free - but it was run as a clinic (no pay but no cost for attendees either), with observers and everything. Overall, I got more out of that setup than a regular scrimmage, but that's the exception.
