Anyway, to answer your question I don't know why your negotiating starting point is to add a 3rd official for absolutely free. Why don't you start from a position of at least 70% of the per official fee going to each of the 3 officials. Your goal should be to preserve as much of the per man fee you have now and move to 3 man... if that makes sense

You might want to ask for more than 70% of the per official fee.

Proof:
$50 per official, 2 man game = $100 per game.
$100 per game / 3 officials = $33.33 per official
$33.33 / $50 = 66.66%

75% = $37.50 per official = $112.50 per game
80% = $40 per official = $120 per game

You're asking for $1.67 more
