In high school, I believe we pay them $150.00/person - 3 man, two games.

Boy, oh, boy do I live in the wrong state or what? What kind of abuse do they put you through to earn that kind of money!?!?!?!?!

In Southern Cal, we get...

Frosh/JV- $41/game
Varsity- $52

JUCO- between $75-90
I also know that the Pac-10 pays officials $800/game (D-I, conference games only)
The WAC, WCC, and other "smaller" D-I conferences pay around $650.

I've never heard of $1600 for a college game-maybe including travel and per diem...

All I can say is that I really need to get out of doing intramurals!

Keep in mind these are Aussie Dollars (about 55c US) and that the quality of basketball is probably a little lower.

Australian basketball is grouped accourding to age (up to 23 years) and then by Division.

All are two whistles.

This is what we get paid for "Sydney Championship":
U12 - (4x7 minutes, no shot clock) $8 - $11
U14 - (4x8 minutes, shot clock only in Div1) $10 - $12
U16 - U18 (4x10, shot clock) $15 - $22

These are State-wide rates, all games 4x10 minutes, 24 sec shot clock.
Under 23 $28 - $40
Div1 Mens $48 - $60
Div1 Womens $40 - $55
Div 2&3 Mens $35 - $50
Div 2&3 Womens $35 - $45

Rates are slightly higher for finals, slightly lower for "round-robin" conferences.
