I echo JR's thoughts .........tough, tough call.

To think those three guys probably got 60 bucks apiece for the game.

I am just going to take a guess, but they got well over $60 for that game. It was a State Championship game, not your local conference game.

I bet Rut is right. I don't know about other states but in Indiana you get $90.00 plus $.20/mile round trip to work the State Championship game.

In Illinois basketball the State Final officials (12 officials) get $130 a game and up to 3 nights in a hotel. And that is two games for the weekend.

Are the State Championship game officials pre determined before the 12 get to the site? Or are they determined after the 12 work a game? Just curious how different it is in comparison to Indiana.

Well now we have 2 State Championship games during a weekend. Last year it was only one game, now we have two Championship games to accommodate the 4 class system that was added. But to answer your question, it is not determined at least to the officials until everyone works their first game. Then at the end of Friday, they tell the officials who is working what the next day.

Actually, $63 (plus travel) is the fee for state championship games in SC, which is equal to the regular season fee for double-headers.

You only get $63 & that is to work both games....

Yep. We get $63 for a B/G V double-header, but we do get $.35/mile both ways, which is a lot better than anywhere else I've officiated. Most of my games were 30-75 miles away, so my checks were anywhere from $85 - $115 for a double-header night.

SC is one of the lowest-paying states out there for fees. But, like I said, the mileage helps make up a little bit.

Let me stop you right there. That is not the lowest paid out there. The most I have received for a single HS varsity game is $60. No mileage or other fees, just $60. And the play for the post season (Regional level) was $59 each (4 games) with no mileage or other pay involved. Just a flat fee and that is it.

Oh, I definitely know there are lower fees...and like I said, the mileage really helps make up for the relatively low fees. But, there's a thread on here from last year (I think) asking different state fees, and SC was certainly at the low end there.

I'm not complaining, just stating what I've been told and what I've read.

I suppose thats not that bad. Do you have to work a double every night? We don't get milage in Indiana unless you assigned to work the tourney.

Yep, unless there's a strange occurence, all Varsity games here are played G/B doubleheader, same crew works both games.

On the strange single-game night, the fee is $44, but still $.35/mile on top of that.

Goes to show you how many state finals I've done.

I was thinking the other day as I finished two intramural games at the local middle school five minutes from my house which took 1:05 for 55.00 bucks that I get the princely sum of 53 large ones for a varsity game that I may have to drive an hour to and arrive an hour before tipoff for an hour and thirty minute game.

That said, give me the varsity game anyday. Psst, don't tell them, I'd probably do it for gratis.
