Catholic middle school games. "Junior varsity" (below eighth grade). Six minute periods. $30.00. Scheduled on the hour. Sometimes we get two games, sometimes three. Nice check in the mail in a few days.

If you want to work real basketball games in Connecticut, you have to belong to IAABO. Thirty-three years, thousands of games, and I've never worked a game with a partner who was not IAABO.
Tom Lopes would be very proud of you !!!!!

This Tom Lopes (below)? Because we've got a basketball officiating monopoly here in Connecticut. Why do think our varsity fees are $91.32?

Excellent. I started off reffing CYO ball, and loved it. One hour long games, 25 bucks apiece, 3 or 4 in a row. Decent partners too -- better than the local rec league that only pays 20.

Yeah, but your games are two man. I'd rather take 70-80 bucks and three man than 90 and two.

One isn't worth the trip. Two is perfect. Three is alright when I have to. Four, unless they're all great games, gets my mind "awandering", and gets my my ankles, and knees, aching, especially on the few tile on concrete floors that we work on. Two aspirin before a set of games is a must for me.
