in our association, the schools contact the association for refs and pay the association, the association then cuts a check for your games.

I've been on this board and McGriff's for 5 years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. Not sure I like it, but it's interesting.

Does the association provide you with a breakdown of payments for each school you worked? If not, how do you know that you got paid for all your games?

PBOA (Portland Basketball Officials Association) does it this way. They collect from the schoolw and pay us. The assignor takes his cut off the top. It works out great, since we don't have to do the collecting ourselves. We get a list of what schools we worked at and when, what level and so on. It also includes mileage. I highly recommend it.

Cardinal Basketball Officials Association (CBOA) does it the same way. We usually get paid 3 times a year: Fall Ball (girls A & AA) plus rec games; Winter Ball which is the BIG check; and Summer Ball which is basically only rec games, but includes what we did in the spring. We receive 2 separate listings (rec & scholastic) which lists the date, time, and location of all games we worked. Our check includes both programs. In my area, the association contracts with the high schools and different rec programs. We do not contract any games on our own. If we do (for some unknown reason), CBOA is not responsible for anything adverse that happens -- you are on your own. This works fine for me.

I noted in some of your previous posts that you "T" a lot. Is this basically because you work intramural games? I was in a fraternity in college so I know what @ssholes or team was.

You got it!

There's actually a CBOA guy who works IM's at our school from time to time. Ask him about the stuff with which we have to deal!

Our banquet is very similar to dblref's post, lots of fun. 3rd week of March, on a night that doesn't interfere with anything.

Physicsref, Do you mean you get one check for the season?

The assignor takes a piece of your check?!?!? Really? Why? The officials are resposible for paying the assignor? I've never heard of such a thing. Here, the assignor is paid one game fee for each team's schedule that he assigns. The payment is from the school. So if the school has boys and girls varsity, boys and girls JV and a boys freshman team, then the assignor would be paid $62 each for the boys and girls varsity schedules, $44 each for the boys and girls JV schedules, and $38 (I think) for the freshman schedule, for a total of $250 from that school.

Why do the officials pay for the assigning duties?

In Texas, our association is not allowed to charge the schools for scheduling their games. Because of this, in order to compensate the secretaries who do the scheduling, they must be paid by the individual chapter (sorta like a board for you IAABO types).

In our chapter, the secretary is paid $2 for each varsity assignment, and the sub-varsity assignors get $1.25 per game. BTW, our varsity secretary probably makes over $20k per season.

For those of you who get your payments through your local officiating associations, do you also get benefits? This is coming very very close to turning the situation into a employer/emp;oyee kinda thing.

In Georgia, the association bills the school at the end of the season and the association pays its refs. (There are 26 associations in the State) Works out well and makes for a nice sized check. I prefer it this way, if I got paid more frequently, I'd blow the cash!!!
