Our state charges $55 to register for the first sport, $30 for the second, and $25 for each additional sport, so I paid $110 this year. I pay $50 in association dues for basketball and $30 each for two different baseball associations, plus $125 for college baseball which goes mostly to the NCAA.

For those of you who are paying assigning fees, I can't believe that you put up with that. That cost should not be borne by the game officials, but instead by the member schools who are contracting with the assignor or organization doing the assigning. That fee should be built into that contract.
To stick the rank and file officials with that cost is bush league. |

State dues $65 for 1st sport. Local dues $85 plus $1 for each game assigned. It is a "racket" in every understanding of the word. We can not start a new association because the State will not "recognize" a new association to meet the state mandated local "training" requirement. |

As a matter of fact when assignors last year took on the Arbiter website for assigning, it was more money than the previous site they used. So a group of them got together and convinced Arbiter to allow them to all use the site together based on the Chicago area conferences. These assignors went to our local associations to ask to cover their costs saying that our members benefit from the usage of the assigning site which is used almost exclusively by every basketball assignor in the Chicago land area. This idea was shot down big time because it was felt that members should not pay anything to get games. Peace

As far as dues, $40 to register with the association (plus $10 for newcomers/transfers) and $40 to the State ($25 if already registered in another sport).

That's exactly what I believe is wrong. The schools should be paying the amount that your officials are having to make up by that 8%. The commissioner should be getting his fee solely from the schools, not taking a cut of the check of each official. If he doesn't believe that the nominal annual scheduling fee is high enough, then he needs to discuss that with the schools, not take it out of the pockets of his officials.

Its the highest out of all the sports. What I dont get is $50 is what use to go to TASO, but it goes to UIL but UIL registration is suppose to be free apparently. The assigning fee is rather high, I rather it go to the way it useto be, you pay by the games.

Or, the school pays $92 to the officials and $8 to the assigner. Or, the school pays $100 to the assigner who sends $92 to the officials. It seems everyone ends up with the same amount of money under either scenario. So, unless one method is more efficient than the other, or there are some "legal" ramifications (the latter could lead to an employment relationship, for example), it doesn't seem to matter much. |

The assigning fee is a good deal for varsity officials or those that work a lot. Not so much for anyone else though.
