Louisiana Officials Possible Strike?

[BillyMac]

By contract with the state interscholastic sports governing body, we get automatic raises every year equal to the average raise that teachers across the entire state get. This way we avoid the traditional labor problems that officials and schools got into every few years. No more deals worked out in smoke filled rooms.

Here in the Land of Steady Habits, and the Land of Two Person Games: $88.28 for all varsity games. $57.25 for all subvarsity games (junior varsity, freshman, middle school). No mileage, it's a small state, and we pretty much stay in our own county.

Do those figures include post-season games, too?

No, post season is more. Don't have the exact figures.

Man that's tough for the kids! I too am rooting for our Louisiana brothers and sisters.Our formula for pay is kind of complicated but here it is for comparison.

BASKETBALL
A. Varsity Game (3 Officials Assigned) $66
B. Varsity Game (2 Officials Assigned) $70
C. Varsity Game (1 Official Assigned) $81
D. Non-Varsity Game (2 Officials Assigned)$59
E. Non-Varsity Game (1 Official Assigned) $68

CIF-SS PLAYOFF FEES ROUNDS - $79 (2 officials)/$75 (3 officials) FINALS - $87(2 officials)/$83(3 officials)

3-man is mandatory here with the quarterfinals onward.

Travel:

A. A flat fee will be used to compensate officials for round-trip travel based on the following scale:
51 - 75 miles = $12.00
76 - 125 miles = $18.00
126 - 175 miles = $30.00
176 - 250 miles = $42.00
251 - 350 miles = $54.00
351 - 450 miles = $72.00
451 miles and above = For distances beyond 450 miles, the following formula will be utilized:
Begin with $72.00, which represents 450 miles round trip
Add $2.40 for every 15 additional miles traveled round trip
Example: 525 miles round trip = $72.00 (First 450 miles)
additional 75 miles = $12.00 (75 divided by 15 = 5, multiplied by $2.40)
Total mileage reimbursement = $84.00

B. The origination point for official’s mileage will be determined in the following way:
1. Regular Season - From the official’s home residence within the assignment area, to the location of their contest.Officials who live or work outside their assignment area will only be compensated for mileage from the point they enter their assignment area. All officials are entitled to mileage if they drive separately to contests.

2. Playoffs - From the location of the meeting place for the officials association.
Note: For playoffs only, mileage will be paid to the Head Official of all officiating crews in all sports.

Agree. One varsity official assigned? I can see an agreed upon fee for only having one varsity official (schedule error, human error, car accident, injury, sickness, etc), ours is 150% of a game fee. We will occasionally assign only one official to a 3:30 p.m. middle school game, or 4:00 p.m. freshman game, but that's due to the lack of available officials for midafternoon games (most of us have day jobs). As far as I know we always have two officials (remember, it's Connecticut) assigned for all high school varsity, and junior varsity games.

I've never seen a situation where one official is assigned to a varsity games.My best guess is that it is an emergency rate (somebody gets sick or something of that nature).

This season, we got a 2% raise.
