Wow. $54 for a middle school game. In our area only get $20-$25/game. Depending on school. $45-$50 for JV and Frosh. Don't know what Varsity officials get but I do soccer and get $55-$65/game. Depending on the conference.

High school varsity: $88.26
All subvarsity (junior varsity, freshman, middle school): $57.25
Automatic raise every year equal to average teacher raise in the State.
No varsity doubleheaders.
A few subvarsity doubleheaders.
A few weekday afternoon middle school, or freshman games, with one official: 150% fee.
No mileage (most distant games about 50 miles one way).
Two hour scrimmage: $100.00 split between two, or three, officials.
7% assignment fee to commissioner at end of season.

Of course, but just because you are a veteran does not mean you are a preferred veteran or someone that has other options. I know a lot of veterans that will not do many games or go many places because the pay is not worth it to them.

Site is a ten minute drive from home. No observation for evaluation before, or after, the game. Same partner I worked with last week, so no pregame. I'm required to show up only ten minutes before tipoff. No introductions. No National Anthem. Seven minute periods. Five minute halftime. "Relaxed" mechanics (switch when convenient). Complimentary food, and drink, from concession stand. I'll leave home around 5:40 p.m., and be home by 7:15 p.m., with $54.00 cash in my pocket.

Girls/Boys Doubleheader: $82.00 Cash
Sub"varsity" Weekend Games (Six Minute Periods): $30.00 Per Game Check (Usually Tripleheaders, or Quadrupleheaders)

I can hear you all saying, "There's gotta be a catch". Not really. Must show up in full high school (sans jacket) uniform (no shorts, no sweatpants, no sneakers, no jewelry). No showers available. Must enforce every "fashion police" rule in the book, or we don't get paid.

So, you could, theoretically, send your partner off the court for that.
