How about licensing fans who think they are officials?

I Didn't Know That Horses Could Swim ...
"Officials make anywhere from $46 (girls varsity water polo)".

Do you have to know how to swim to officiate? I'm not a great swimmer. I'm not drowning for $46.

Actually, it doesn't bother me at all. I have an S-corp and all my referee income is paid to the corporation. I pay a state corporations tax and a city home occupation permit fee. It's well worth it. If you have quite a bit of referee income, I suggest you speak with your tax professional.

Can you provide some more details? What income can you defer / expenses can you take under the S-Corp that you can't take on schedule C?

Don't officiate it but know people who do. You walk along the edge of the pool.

Didn't you watch any Water Polo in the Olympics?

A friend of mine is a big supporter of the ASPCA, the Humane Society, and PETA, and asked me not to watch water polo. He claims that too many horses drown during these contests.

Billy is afraid someone will push him in after a 'no-call'.

If I lived in Southern California, I would be the first in line to get that license to increase my chance of getting a double-0 license number. It wouldn't have to be 007, any double-o number would do. That would give me a license to kill. Would that be cool, or what? During the pregame officials/coaches/captain conference I would get to introduce myself as "Mac, BillyMac".

Talk about a great way to decimate the officiating ranks.
