It's the ultimate example of throwing your partner under the bus.

Our basketball association (Which books the vast majority of games for schools in this area of the state), contracts with individual schools to provide officials for their games. There is an agreed upon rate that the schools pay for each level of game, along with mileage. Our association allows us to schedule games on our own at any of the schools we service as long as they aren't varsity regular season games (Tournaments are okay as some schools book their own officials for their tournaments).

Some schools that are "in between" associations book their own officials for all games and decide on their own rates.

As far as contracts go, we use the Arbiter, but a small number of schools will send contracts as well for their games.
