Game Fees & Milage

[billyhouston]

I am working on an article with regard to game fees for high school baseball. In Texas we receive $35 and game and charge .37 cents per mile. If both officials drive we only get paid for one way. I would like to know what the game fee and mileage is in other states.

In Northern Ohio we receive $ 40.00 for any High School Baseball or Softball game. We do not receive mileage or any other compensation - whether we drive 2 miles or 45 ( which I have done ). My association takes 10% of the game fee. That leaves me with $ 36.00 per game. If you do the math, I probably pay to officiate. If we work a game alone ( usually there are two officials for each High School game ), we only get pay for one - nothing more.
By the way, I also do Volleyball and Wrestling and there is no mileage for those sports either.

Here in IL. Usually all games pay $40, if you work a DH anywhere from $70-$90. No mileage.

Can't reply for the whole state, but around here it is $55 for varsity and $45 for JV. No mileage and I have had games an hour and a half from home.

In Central NC, we get $55 a game for varsity and $50 for JV. We don't get paid for mileage. Our assignor tries to keep us within a hour from home.

Alabama:

$40 V (2-man); $35 V (3-man)
$35 JV
$30 Freshman and below

Milage is paid if the site is 10+ miles away from our centralized meeting place.

State Dues: $30
Assn Dues: $50

It is a little more complex in Oregon:

We get paid not only by level (varsity/JV/Frosh) but also by size of school.

AAAA Schools (Oregon Largest) -- 2 man $43.50 each
AAA Schools (Next sized) -- 2 man $41.50 each
AA Schools (Next sized) -- 2 man $39.50 each
AAAA JV -- 2 man $33.00 each
AAA JV -- 2 man $31.00 each
AA JV -- 2 man $29.00 each
All Sized School -- Frosh -- -- 2 man $31.00 each

We get .37 per mile and we get paid round trip. We have one school that the round trip is 2 miles and we have another school where the mileage is $55.00 which is far over the game fee.

We pay $75 for our FED Packet. Some of this goes to the state (FED) and part to our local.

Each of our games is "taxed" 13% to pay our Assigning Commissioner.

In my district in SC we get:

Plate $33 (bases $28) plus minimum $5 milage. Milage is .25 cents per mile both ways. So at our farthest reach schools we can get a check for +/- $60. This is state fee. JV fees are same. Another district gets a $50 fee no matter where in district they go. Don;t know how they did it but they did

Here in SW Missouri it varies by school, but my association ask $45 per varsity game and 30 cents per mile round trip.

Spokane....$42 for Varsity, $8 flate rate mileage for "in-town" games and 40.5 cents per mile for out of town games, round trip. Since our service area is 80 miles east to west and over 100 miles north and south, mileage checks are often more than game fees.

two bits, I am in West Plains, where are you Springfield? We get the same here as two bits.

Scyguy, I'm north of Joplin in the Nevada area.

Here in Iowa it depends on the school, but most of them are $75-85 for a Varsity and JV game (same night)with no mileage paid.
