The local high school refs are concerned about how our pay per game compares to the rest of the country. As you all know the price of gas has gone up greatly the past 2 years, but our game fees have not. Locally we call 2 varsity HS games (1 girls and 1 boys) in a 3 man crew and each get paid $65 for about 5 hours of travel and game time. I think this is way too low for what we do for State High school Asociation. What is everyone else making a night or per game?

$65 for two varsity games? Wow. But then, you're not really doing it for the money anyway, right?
 We've had this discussion before and the fees run anywhere from about $40 for a varsity game to $95, depending on the area of the country. Those are 2-whistle fees. You're worse than some, better than others.

But hey, ain't it all about the kids, not the officials, right?
 Maybe it's those low fees that is leading to all that discord among officials in Kentucky. After only getting $65 for working a Varsity double-header, I can see why it's a big deal to work one of those $55 State games.

Why don't spend your time coming up with a better format for the NCAA tournament, instead of torturing me with nit-picky commentary. Oh wait, you're doing that in the other thread, too.

In Central Jersey - $52.50 for Freshman; $52.50 for JV (boys or girs). I walk out with a $105 check everyday. And, I've heard complaints about that. The Varsity guys get $67.50 for two man crew.

Western Wisconsin the pay is:
Varsity Reserve $35.00 (2-whistle) Varsity $50-55.00 (2-Whistle and depending on the conference). We normally will not do doubleheaders unless there is an unusual circumstance (official gets hurt, not show for whatever reason). We are toying with the 3-whistle. Our state association implemented 3-whistle for our state tournament. It is not the norm for the regular season and to be honest with you some of the administartors, coaches, athletic directors are against it and my guess is that it has to do with the budget. I aplogize for digressing.

I have a feeling that California is near the bottom, can anyone confirm? I think the median home price in our area is now about $600,000 which makes it a travesty for all who work with kids. School funding made a beeline for the low 40's of 50 states in 1977 and hasn't moved back up - which brings me to my question:
Does officials' pay coincide more with funding for schools, popularity of sports or density of population?
