Association Dues

[Welpe]

Here dues are: $115. $50 to the state, $65 to the chapter. We also pay a flat $80 assigning fee which rather severely punishes sub varsity officials or those who can't work as much IMO.

In our GA association it's $90. First year folks pay at the beginning of the season while vets have that amount taken out of their year-end check for the next year.

NCHSAA dues - $30 + $21 insurance

Local dues - $10

Assignor fees - $65

[26 Year Gap]

To register with state: $34
Primary Assn: $50
Secondary Assn: $35
Level 2 Screening: $20 [pro-rated as the screening card is good for 5 yrs]

My previous assn which includes national IAABO dues: $75

You can cover that $85 in less than a week's worth of games. I get a lot of good training for my dues. I get good assignments and get to work with a lot of great officials who have helped me along. I get MORE than my money's worth.

Iowa has two state associations, one for boys and one for girls. I pay $45 for the first sport and $12 for each additional sport for the boys, and $35 plus $10 for each additional sport for the girls. I do boys and girls basketball and boys baseball, so I pay $92 each year.

I belong to a local association but it really isn't required in Iowa, those dues are $15. I don't receive any games from the local association and after about 10 years am considering dropping out of it at this point. Pretty pointless. I don't pay anyone to assign me games; around here the assigners generally negotiate a fee for their services with the conferences they assign. I get many games myself directly from school AD's, particularly in baseball.

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.

From what I have heard, UIL registration is free unless you are a member of a UIL chapter. Makes a lot of sense....

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