So it's ok to do more games for less money??? That's also ass backwards. The point in life is to get better, make more, and work less. Not make less, work more.

I would stop officiating if that choice was presented to me. This doesn't pay my bills or allow me to live the lifestyle I want. It's a hobby, that takes quite a bit of time and effort for at least 3 months a year.

7 years ago a HS conference we worked was payning $75/official for 3-man BV and 2-man GV. We elected a new commissioner and the following season the body of the association agreed to take a $12.50/game cut for BV & GV so that we could get a 3rd official on the court for GV. So we went from $75/game to $62.50/game, but we thought the pay cut was worth getting five extra varsity slots every Tuesday and Friday.

Personally, I would rather work 3-man at a lower rate than 2-man at a higher rate.
