Booking HS Varsity contests

A mixture for me. I work in three conferences with assigners who give me the games. I also work for other schools where I get the games directly from the athletic director. They pay what they pay; if an official doesn't think it's enough they can choose not to work there. I don't get any games from my local association. The small schools still generally assign their own officials in my area. It's more work drumming up those games, but I also like having control over where and when I want to work. When you work for a conference assigner you go where they want you to or you won't be getting games for very long. For baseball I only work for one conference assigner; everything else my partner and I get on our own.

I have to schedule every game each year with schools athletic directors. Some schools pay what they pay, while others will ask what we want. I typically tell the schools to treat us fair and if they ask, I'll send them the average we're receiving from all schools we work. This works pretty well.
