I'm thinking about giving it up.

As for mileage, I don't think CHSAA regulates who may pay it and who can't. I know here we get mileage for many games that are closer than your noted range. Those that work in the two major metro areas get a $2 travel stipend per trip; when we go outside our metro area (outlying towns), we get mileage. Whether it's 15 miles or 50 miles, we get it.

12.50? How did they get those games covered? Last season I was getting 70-75 for doing two games. Heck, there's a local rec tourney this weekend, 2-6 grade, and they are even offering $20 a game. Maybe its what our association has negotiated with the schools around here on the MS game rates. I know I read it, rates/mileage, somewhere online but with my luck, I'm not finding it at the moment. I'm thinking the mileage distance is smaller than that... I traveled 20 mi. one way and my partner was saying I could probably be getting mileage as well as game $.

Hope ya heal up, riding the pine is starting to irritate me.

Ah, I just found the mileage....its on the bright pink packet that was sent out by CHSAA; Its $ per mi. and it was increased from .29 to .36 starting the '09-10 season and its for anything traveled more than 20 miles one way. I think that rate was the same for this season as well.

Yeah, I think they increased it to $15 my second year, but I was getting $37.50 for a triple header on tartan floors. No idea how they covered them, but let's just say some of my partners weren't exactly IAABO certified. Some career ms refs mixed in with a few IAABO guys who just liked to work.

As for mileage, I'm sure it's all about your local association's agreement with the schools; just like any pay above and beyond the state minimums.

Yeah, this season has sucked. Getting those emails, "need someone to cover these games on this date" hasn't helped either.

On the other side of the bay from me there is a middle school league that is paying 53/game for DHs. Heard they have NCAA guys stepping all over each other to volunteer for those games.

Great, POI for middle school technical fouls.

Well, maybe they aren't volunteering.
