$$$ Compensation

[bigzilla]

Okla- independent contracts...depends on what each school pays. If you aren't willing to work for that, you don't contract their games (we don't have assignors except in the metro areas). 2 man, and you do both the girls and boys varsity game, you make between 85 and 110. Jr hi, 25 per game.

NCAA- depends on the conference, and whether men's or women's. Travel is paid by most conferences, and some have per diem.

NBA- salaried, of course, and I think it starts in the mid
$70,000 range.

I heard Dave Libbey say about a year ago that Pac-10 officials make $850/game and $1050 for the conference tournament. Don't know if there is a per diem or travel on top of that, though.

Where I am in VA it is $45 for 3-man varsity, and $35 for 3-man JV. I haven't worked middle school in a while, so I don't remember what it pays, but probably like $25 or $30 for two-man. We almost always work JV/Varsity double-headers. We also get paid for travel on top of the game fee, depending on how far away the game is.

It depends...

HS Varsity...$50-$80...(2-man or 3-man)
HS JV...$40-$55
HS Frosh...??

NCAA HCAC...$125
NCAA ORCC...$75-$85

Not sure of your location in VA, but in northern VA, we get $45 for F/JV (2-whistle) and $60 for varsity (all 3-whistle) and $25 for the clock. Varsity rates go up to $65 for district/regionals, and clock goes up to $30.

Interesting the difference in locations throughout VA. In northern VA, we don't get paid for mileage and it is 61 miles from my work site to one of the outlying locations. Bright side is, it is only 21 miles from the site to my home! The sub-varsity crews work F/JV and varsity officials might work a freshman game at one school and a varsity game at another school. Or, they might work a F/V game at the same school. It is rare that we work JV/V at the same school, but I did it once this year.

Now why would you hope that? To put it in perspective, my school taxes (not property taxes) are $ 6500 per year. Add in property taxes and the yearly bill is $ 12,000. I may as well get some of it back!

The rate is for each official!

DBL and IREF,

Where we are in VA, we started the JV/V 3-man double-header when the state put boys and girls in the same season. Before that, I heard that they had a different crew for each game. I forgot how nice is was to only do one game until I did some playoff games. It made me realize that JV/V double-headers can be quite a chore some nights, especially when some varsity coaches spend half their time watching the JV game and stewing over the officials.

The real problem is that we just don't have enough officials to cover all the games with two different crews.

Omaha, Nebraska area

Varsity-$65 per game for Metro Conference (the big school conference here in the Omaha metro area), varies for others. I heard one person got $85 for a varsity game at a smaller school outside of the metro. All is 2-whistle, though Metro Conference is talking of going to 3-whistle in near future. I've gotten $40-50 per game for the smaller classes here in the metro area.

Subvarsity (JV, Soph, Reserves, Frosh)-Metro Conference is $35 per game, so doubleheaders are $70. Varies for others. The range I've seen has been $25-35 for smaller schools.

Middle school-Varies greatly! Omaha Public Schools middle school league paid $35 for a doubleheader, $27 if it was a single game (haven't figured that one out yet!). I've received anywhere from $15-25 per game for middle school ball.

Updated information! I deleted old post.

In New Hampshire for 2004-2005.

V 2-person $70
V 3-person $55
JV $50
MS determined by individual schools, but is usually either $30 or $35 per game.

This is the first year of a three-year deal. The stipends were increased substantially for 2004-2005, but we are no longer reimbursed for mileage. The high school fees will increase two dollars per year for each of the next two years.
