How much do you get paid?

All I can say is, with the way gas prices are these days, no one can say that officials of any sport just do this for the money.....

40.00 - HS C

These rates are not accurate. The state of Washington has uniform, within the classifications, HS baseball officiating rates set to protect schools in outlaying areas from getting scrwed. These are not them unless you are adding in the mileage expense you contract for locally. While rates are uniform within the sports, they are not uniform sport to sport. You can check with the WIAA/WOA for accurate information on game fees for the different sports in Washington.

In Southern Illinois:


Many single HS games pay $35-40
Some bigger schools pay $45-55 for conference single games
Some Saturday DH's pay from $90-100


They never pay travel. That is the umpires job to determine whether it is "worth it" to travel to the field or just not take the game.

For reference these same HS's pay around $45-$55 a game for basketball referees both JV and Varsity.

Definitely not a way to get rich being an umpire/referee in this part of the country.

I posted this in the last thread, put I'll put it here again.

Statewide in New Hampshire,

V $74 with a partner
JV $52 with a partner

we rarely have a game alone, but the rate for those is a fee and a half.

Babe Ruth locally is $40

In Tennessee for high school ball:

Varsity -- $55/game, $75/DH (2 games w/ same 2 teams)

JV, Middle School and other local rates are set by each individual umpires' association. Ours (Knoxville) are:

JV -- $40/game, $65/DH
JV solow -- $45/game

And everything is going up by $5.00 next year, according to the TSSAA.

In Northern Illinois:



My association pay $53 for varsity single and $93 for DH ($66/$107 solo), frosh-soph is $50/$97 for one-man (there are no two-man underclass games here). Summer ranges from $46 - $65 depending on level (10 y/o to 28+ MSBL)

I work the highest level of regular baseball played in Queensland Australia
We get $AU40 for a plate, $AU35 for a base. No other allowances are paid.
No other games are paid.

if you had read my whole first post, you would have run into the part about these including travel fees.
