That means all the officials are supposed to arrive at 5:30, or whatever, in time for the jv game. varsity guys then get to sit through entire jv. To me, this is just another example of our association being completely screwed over by the schools. No way am I taking a varsity game where I am expected to show up 2 hours early and all I get is an extra $25 if I am the driver and nothing extra if I am not the driver.

Sounds like $5 per official, correct? 2 officials in JV game, 3 officials in V game. I call the JV officials, tell them to their a$$es to their game on time, then when I get there give them $10 to split among themselves. That leaves $15 for the Varsity crew, which I would keep if I drove the crew.
