Game Fees
I have a question about game fees in some states. We are in the process of bidding a contract with some schools and these states were mentioned. Arizona, Montana, Washington, Nevada, and Oregon. I'm just checking their figures with some of you because I know some of these states don't work three person and their numbers were for three person. Any help would be appreciated.

ALthough around the state they are slightly different in my district here is the pay scale: Varsity (3 man/woman crew) 65, JV 45 (2man) Jr. High single game 42; Junior High Double header 71 (2 Man) We get NO travel money

2man
I can't believe some states and areas are still doing 2-man for varsity. All varsity games in my area are 3-whistle crews. I think it makes the games a lot better.

Most of us feel that three officials makes for a better called game. However, we don't get to make the decision. Principals, coaches, athletic directors, state associations, all have a say. Cost is a factor. What they're used to is a factor. If it ain't broke, don't fix it is a factor. Politics is a factor. Number of officials is a factor.
It's a fight worth fighting, but it's still a fight. |
Most schools around here could use 3 for varsity games, but choose not to in order to give the impression that they're really making an effort to save money.

I would rather makes 5 bucks less a game and have 3 on it than make more doing it with only 2. I few yrs. back 3 was an option for the school to choose. Some chose 3 some chose 2. Then for us we were going back and forth between the 2. So the following year our contract with the district that determined fees was up. Instead of raising fees we kept them the same (we have since raised them) and made an agreement that their would be 3 on every league game. Although now, they can still choose to have only 2 on non-league games none of the teams do.

a different spin on it
The reason most states go to 3 man officiating is because their 2 man crews don't know how to watch off-ball. :D
There have been several conversations on this board that have suggested there aren't really that many games that require 3 officials. |
