High school scorers timers.

These people are not school employees, just very dedicated boosters of the school and programs. Having games at many other schools, I feel like this set of scorers/timers are among the best in my state.

My beef is I've heard some get 75.00 a game while I'm getting to a Varsity game an hour before, sometimes in access of 60 miles round trip and for that I get 54.00. It ain't right.

Why don't you try officiating the game and being the scorekeeper at the same time? Then you'd get $129.00! In fact, if you also worked the clock, you'd get $204.00! Hey - Diebler does it and he also plays in the game and sells popcorn while taking tickets and parking cars! Oh yeah - he's also the A.D. and head cheerleader.

Gee - and I didn't even have to use my abacus.

Some Forum members encourage officials to keep track of the alternating possession arrow, team fouls toward the bonus, to know when each team has used all its time outs, and, ready, here it comes, personal fouls on "star" players. We might as well get paid to keep score as well as to officiate the game.

$75 sounds more like what might be paid for a college game.

Geez, it sounds like the college guys get all the good stuff, more $$, all the big games, the chicks ....

I've worked games where the table crew has been around 20+ years, they give us their pre-game and expect us to adjust to them. They mean well, but...

That ain't beef, that's wine.
No matter what anyone else get$, if you are unhappy with your officiating pay, there is, at least, one option open to you.

Do you speak from experience? Never entered my mind, in officiating or the business sector. I tend to work within the system to correct inequities.
