Carpooling To Games

[Adam]

I'd never heard of jv and varsity carpooling together. In my last area, this was done for one venue due to the drive (more than 100 miles round trip). The driver got mileage, and the v/jv games were split with one official working two varsity games and the other four officials working a varsity/jv split. The varsity guy had to be early for the jv games, two guys had to sit through a game in the middle, and two guys had to sit at the end and wait through the last game.

Thanks Guys,alot of good input. Our board does not really want to open the schedules to all officials because there is alot of negativity that comes from some officials.Believe it or not there is alot of carpooling in our areas. Our comm. sets our games where the varisity crew and JV could travel together. It is usually on Friday and Saturday games. That is a perfect time to ride together. We have some of our V guys that comes to their games that is about a 140 mile round trip.There will be 4 of them, the driver will let 2 of them off at their game and proceed on to their game (10 miles away) and pick them up afterwards.We have several groups that would do that. But we are just looking to help on the JV side. We had about 140 officials last year on our team and I know about 90% did both Jv and V games.Heck we have our "Big Time" offficials as well as our college guys doing MS games also. So we pretty much know every one. Its just when the V guys shows up on a Sat and tells the JV If I knew you where here, we could had road together. Last year we only got $6 for gas per game per official on top of our regular game fee.Thanks Again

If your commissioner is R.A. then I'm sure he doesn't want to open up the schedule. He definitely has a "worry about your own game" mentality and he hates the back-biting that goes on in officiating.

You are correct. He has put alot of pressure for us to be better on the floor and trust me he is by the book. He does not have a problem putting a "full time" V ref down to the JV level. He also is very rewarding to those who will work hard and keep his phone from ringing. He can open doors for those who can walk thru those doors and not make him look bad.

I used to carpool, but my engine would get too wet.

Hey - who says I don't try to answer these seriously?
