The pay scale that Jeff quoted are contained in the 2007MVC Men's Basketball Championship Handbook. The 2008 version does not include the pay scale.

34. OFFICIALS
A minimum of 12 officials will be assigned to the tournament by Jim Bain, Coordinator of Officials. Officials will be paid the same fl at fee by tier as during the regular season. E-Tier offi cials will get $1600 for a weekday game and $1800 for a weekend game (Saturday or Sunday). Level I will receive a fee of $1200, Level II will receive $1000 and Level III will receive $850 per game.

The MVC has made a concerted effort to attract top officials and their roster bears this out. By my count, 28 of them received NCAA tournament assignments. The roster also includes several others who didn't receive assignments because of the computer snafu: Jim Burr, John Higgins, Steve Olson and Steve Welmer.
