That is a lot of money to pay an assignor. I guess for the person that is good thing, but that seems a little steep. How many schools are involved?

I know of an assigner (high school) in an area I used to live in that makes $100,000 per year. He had so much power he was trying to get two areas to allow him to make the schedule...the game schedule as in he is the assigner and he would decide when school A played school B.

I get being compensated for what you do. I have no problem if that goes several thousands for specific sports. But $100,000 really? That means you do not need another job or occupation to assign. That is one thing if you assign several sports and it comes to a lot of money, but that is ridiculous. No wonder schools and associations are crying foul with politics.

Tomegun -

I am only kiddin !!!!! However one must realize that he assigns EVERY GAME in that county. 7 yr old rec to church leagues he gets a piece of the action.
Don't forget he assigns one of the best Catholic leagues in the country!!!!!!!

I assign two sports in my area and I charge $5 per name. It is added to their dues. In my small part of the world assigner fees range from $6 - $10 per official per game. Some take a dollar less for jv or freshman games. So if you want to figure out how much your assigner is making, multiple every V game
by $16 (two man and do the math). It may seem like a lot of money, but don't
forget about school closings due to snow and other games that are rescheduled.
