And I'm not sure I'd even do it for $12,000 as you're considering.

That's why I've made the decision to turn down any possible offer. Unless by some miracle they cede control of the assigning to the actual assignor, it's a figurehead position.

As can be your formatting. :D

Stupid spellcheck.

If God intended us to make spelling errors why did he allow Al Gore to invent spellcheck so that a robot can make spelling errors.

That's really weird because I didn't do the formatting manually -- I clicked the icons in the posting software.

Why have an assignor if the commissioner ultimately sets the schedule? We are currently having this battle in my organization -- the 3 presidents (elect, current, and past) want to approve all games. The bulk of our members agree that we should trust the guys we are paying to do the schedule and if they are screwing it up the board can replace them. Unfortunately, some presidents/commissioners just want too much power.

TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN....People need to learn to stay in your own lane:mad::mad:

There are a lot variables to this, but the following is simplified. 3 man for all varsity games, 2 man for all MS and JV games. Rescheduled games get pushed to another free date around here, anywhere from next day to 2 weeks.

16 Public HS, Roughly 15 MS, 15 Private HS

Assume JV & V for every school, B&G

Public HS: 32 V teams, 32 JV
Public MS: 60 teams (7th Grade is JV & 8th Varsity)
Private HS: 30 V teams, 30 JV

Assume 24 games per team, assume 9 games aren't assigned by us, leaves us with 15 games per team. And MS plays roughly 10 games.

930 Varsity Games, 2790 slots
930 JV Games, 1860 slots
600 MS Games, 1200 slots

2460 Games, 5850 assignments

There are other factors, such as all-girl schools, schools with no Girl's JV teams, some freshman teams. Playoffs, reschedules.

If I'm leaving anything out, please tell me. I have no idea what I might be walking into. Any thoughts on what you'd expect to paid for such a task?

In my area, the assignor is not paid by the schools or conferences. Paid by the officials at $4.00 per game by each official working that game. Same assignor fee for both JV and Varsity!

I'm confident you can do better than assigning officials 72-24 hours beforehand. I'm blown away by that.

Yeah no kidding! Just ask Rich. In Wisconsin he assigns officials 72-24 years in advance.

I just signed a contract to officiate a game in 2023.

How does that make any sense? That's like 3 years away, and for all I know you could retire by then or move out of state.

If I get asked to be an observer down the road, I might be interested in doing that, but I am not interested in assigning, because I do not want to deal with complaints from coaches about the officials they get, or from officials about my assigning decisions.

Can't speak for other parts of the country but where Iive ( Mid Atlantic ), this job should pay anywhere from $26,000 to $32,500......

I could be dead by then. Survived one heart attack, don't know it I'll survive the second.

Of course one could always get hit by a bus.
