Playoff fees in SC
In South Carolina, an official gets $62 plus travel for one playoff game and $85 plus travel for a playoff doubleheader. The higher seeded team hosts the first three rounds. When the initial brackets come out, girls and boys are not scheduled to play on the same night. However, what happens sometimes is a school that's hosting a girls and boys playoff game will ask the SCHSL to move one of the games such that the girls and boys play back-to-back on the same night. As a result, the SCHSL sends only one crew of officials to the sight, and the officials receive the fee for a doubleheader rather than two separate games, which obviously is less.
Fair or foul? |

I can see paying only one travel fee for a double header. I could even see paying a little less for the 2nd game since there are other efficiencies in doing a double header. But, to pay less than 1/3 as much for the 2nd game as the first is just criminal. |
Why in the world would anyone think a crew working two playoff games in the same night is a good thing? Let alone both genders in the same night?

I'm also willing to bet, that the girls play the first game, and after you've run the floor for four quarters, then you run for boys varsity.
Foul also. That's $42.50 per game. We get $45 for junior high games. |

I wish I didn't have to work doubleheaders or girls basketball in general, but that's just not the way it goes in this state. Quote:

$85 for a playoff double header sounds insulting.

Bit rough there.
Ohio does sectional,districts,regional then state sites. Only one game a night and your not allowed to do any other contest during the same day as a tournament aassignment. |
To determine whether or not this is a fair rate, I would need to know what you get during the regular season.
I can tell you that my area is $78 for regular season (2-man) and about $95 (2-man) for playoffs. Those are single game fees. There is no reduction for DHs. 3-man playoffs is about $70. |

Missouri uses a zone chart for district and state playoff games and pays a flat fee. For example, if you live between 0-40 miles from the game site there is a flat fee for that zone. If you live 41-80 miles away, the fee steps up to another flat rate, and so on. It is not quite as much as we make in the regular season, but it's close. The rates go up the further you go in the state playoffs.
I'll make a $78 flat rate for a sectional (first round of playoffs after district tournaments) that is about 15 miles from my house. |
