Quarter Length

Do you get paid varsity money??

I would think pay has to do with the level you are working, not the time the game is played. Many lower level games are played the same time as the varsity and you get paid less because it is not a varsity contest.

You may want to contact the secret service and turn yourself in. It'll go a lot better for everyone that way.

Why would they? It wasn't a varsity game.

In Oregon, all HS games are 8 minute quarters.... Varsity, JV, JV2, Freshman-A, Freshmen-B, etc. Varsity pays one rate, the rest pay at a lower rate. The pay difference is more for the ability of the officials that typically work each level and the importance of the games.

Some MS games are 8 minutes, some are 7 minutes. The pay sometimes depends on the length but it isn't universal.

Colorado works the same way, with the addition that some MS games are 6 minute quarters.

It's theoretical -- I only work varsity games.

I've always been of the opinion that the varsity officials should be paid appreciably more than the subvarsity officials. If those officials want to be paid more, they should do what it takes to become varsity officials.
