Biggest HS check?

If they don't pay mileage, then they always get "local" officials, and the visitors complain, including this AD (or coach) when his school is the visitors.

Solution? Have the visitors pay the mileage and specify in advance the maximum "crew radius" they will accept.

Most conferences have a mileage limit. With the exception of the "unlimited" conference, the maximum mileage we get around here is $35.

The problem in these rural areas is that they simply don't have a lot of varsity-level officials in these areas. Some of the JV guys we see (who are, of course, local) are frighteningly bad. Last night I watched about 3 minutes of the JV game -- one guy actually seemed to have pretty good mechanics and I was ready to be pleasantly surprised. Then he called two phantom fouls where I could see at least a foot of daylight between the two players and I suddenly had the urge to go get dressed and stretch.

Our HS association uses a flat mileage fee when the working agreement goes out to the schools/conferences we service. "Local" schools pay $9 and the further ones pay $27. The money goes to the "R" and if the others in the crew drive the "R" is supposed to divy up the $$. It is sort of sweet if you actually live NEAR one of the outlying schools, b/c then you get a nice check for a school close by!! I think the furhtest commute for the "central point" we use is about 90 minutes, so not too bad.

I have one contract this year that includes any mileage and the school is 85 miles one way from my home. The total amount of the contract is $145...$35 of it is for mileage. The best contract I've had is a 20 mile round trip...worked one JV game and received $80.

Last year I had $201.06 deposited into my refpay account ($55 game fee + mileage, a room & a meal) for 1 game.

I drove the 80 miles home in under 1.5 hours
