But it's ridiculous, nonetheless.

So you actually lost money on the night. That is not cool. You might not be in it for the money but it shouldn't cost you to do it.

I took the game as a favor to an assigner. Where I am, we have no central assigners so I'm free to work games far away or close to home as I see fit.

Today I saw video from a game pitting the #1 and #2 girls teams in our small school division on a 94-foot floor. They hired 2-person crews. These days, in this state, that's outrageous.

Then again, it's one of those facilities that puts on events and usually assumes the responsibility of paying for the officials and they sent around an email earlier this season asking for crews. They paid $55 (below market in the area) and only hired 2-person for all games.
