Iowa high school basketball games postponed due to referee no-show

We get paid the night of the game. Checks are ready to go. Only a few places mail them and hose usually take about a week.

Catholic and Private schools in our area pay on the spot for the most part. With the publics there's too much red tape to hope they'd be able to get it done any better than they do now. The 2-3 weeks is a vast improvement.

In Westchester County and on Long Island officials get one big check at the end of the season.

In my experience in the Chicago area, it was a total crapshoot as to when you got paid, as far as if it was by the school itself or the school district. Some schools, mainly the private schools, had checks made out on game day. Some districts would pay periodically for any games you worked in that district, and for others it would take months.

We use to get paid at the site...but schools got away from it. Our assignor now pays us...and as of this year, is using RefPay. So far so good.

Our state activities association uses refpay for all playoff games also.

I think this thread has gone off the reservation.

No it hasn't. It's discussing the dynamics of assignment mis-communications, which obviously happened in the OP.

It went off a little bit, by turning into a discussion on how and when officials get paid in different areas.

The AD at least deserves a little credit for not naming the officials as he threw them under the bus. A little. I would love if someone could give us the scoop, though, as I'd bet money there's more to the story here.

That almost goes without saying. Of course something clearly went wrong and something tells me it was not all on the officials even with the information we have.
