The Madness Begins...
My wife's life as a referee widow begins. Just received my first batch of assignments for the season. First games will be Thursday, October 20. Junior High Boys/Girls double header. 45 minute commute. $90 plus mileage. Two-man crew, short court.
When does your season start?

First games Nov. 11-13 weekend. HS Boys/Girls invitational tournament. Going to do 4 games over the Friday and Sat. Normally not the way I would want to start but lowest level HS games possibly in the region (most good MIddle School teams would beat them) so the pace won't be torrent.

I live in Central MO. I have JH games that are farther than that. $90 per two games and 50 cents per mile.

(And the fact it's $45 each for middle school games —and more for a DH, in fact, than for a freshmen DH here!) Inquiring minds would like to know! Might be ready for a move too |

I used to work MS rec games at an MS about 6 blocks from my house. Since I was also the scheduler for that rec organization, I would schedule myself for a full day of games on Saturdays during the season. I didn't get any mileage but I did get to go home for lunch between games.

From tone of some posts after this, maybe we got it ok in MO. Swmo here, we do $40 for 6 min quarters, $50 for 7, $60 for 8, plus mileage. So generally JH DH's are around $100. My first one of those was around first week of sept and depending on the conference, some schools will still be doing JH into late Feb. JV/V starts around a month from now. |

Camron - when I did MS games for TBA (Tigard Basketball Assn.) we paid $27.00 per game - no mileage. The games were "short" and on small courts. The only bad part of this was when you had games at Fowler MS (three courts) because the gym floor is tile, not wood. It's not really great for your knees. On Saturdays, games started at 9:00 and were scheduled to start every hour and ten minutes later (six minute quarters, five minute halftime). The last game of the day started at 4:00 so we were finished a little after 5:00. That made for a schedule of 7 games. As I alluded to in an earlier post, I would work six of those games taking off the one at 12:30 for lunch. I had to be back on the court at 1:40. Not a problem since it took me about five minutes to get home.
