Pay raise!

[amusedofficial]

Trouble with third grade games is the hot moms are usually close to being jail bait.

Best way to deal with youth games is to package the games in sets of two or three or more games so that the officials walk out with acceptable coin for the time spent. Per game fees aren't as important as the total take vs. time required. It's actually an advantage to the league as well, since we'll keep it moving, avoid overtime, seatbelt loudmouth daddy coaches at the first opportunity, and keep those full timeouts to :45 seconds.

But never, ever, pay one official less than the others. Unless I'm employed by a league on salary, I don't want to work for less than my partner, and I don't want to work with a partner making less than I am.

We schedule games in blocks of 2, 3 and sometimes 4.

Usually, this is not the case. Occasionally, we may have a 2nd year with a 3rd year or a 3rd year with a 4th year in a regularly scheduled game, but not too often. Of course, when a veteran is training two newbies, the pay rate will be different. I'm recommending we cut back on the number of levels we have and even out the pay rates more.
