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
Math is sooo hard. Anyways...

Do people actually work HS varsity for $50?

I was thinking along the lines of a 15% to 20% drop per man, in your world $40 per official (geeze I think twice before working AAU at $40 a game... but that's another topic).

Net is do not just add a third official for no additional outlay from the school.

$50 is what I got for varsity in Da UP two years ago, don't know if its changed. Using 50 is much easier for the math too!

3 man all the way. Not really a money thing for me anymore. I doubt seriously I'll accept a 2 man non-varsity assignment next year, and even the varsity 2 mans are getting scarce.

We are having problems with our younger officials who work 3 man during camps and then don't work it at all during the season. Even some varsity officials get maybe 5-8 3 man games during the year and none after December. You can't get better at 3 man mechanics by working it only 18 times a year. I've suggested that we go 3 man in all high school games which would ensure training of officials and might encourage some older guys to accept sub-varsity assignments on nights they don't have a varsity game.

State associations need to stand up to school districts, many of whom would probably put the fees for an additional official in their budget if they get the notice in time. That's one thing we've heard and while I suspect some districts are saying that as an excuse, for many its true. We've been working 5 man in JV football games for 2 decades around here. No reason not to go to 3 man in HS basketball.

The number of officials is of no consequence to me, since I always get 100% of the total game fees. The other official(s) work for free because they consider it such an honor to work with me.

Three words for you: Meds, meds, and meds.

Even without my meds, I know that's four words.
