We get cold beer after games at a private prep school here in my little corner of Connecticut.

*Hmmm, oh really? but I'd still prefer our trailmix, and orange slices--Catholics are such nice folks and the parish rector is there at games and also sister mary alice robers--who are also nice folks.
Next time I will go to confession.

Beer makes me piss too much, plus I'd be too worried about my public image as "official" and also very scared to get pulled over for dui driving home from the games.
But I'm sure you jest

*?! did you just say that "50 cent per mile was paid to ONE ref ONLY" [ in a 2 man or 3-man crew] ?!

too much lol!

My word! Even the Catholics do better than that! When I do their 8th grade games our crew always gets yummay orange slices, trailmix, and a blessings.

Yes one official only. This is an agreement of our organization with our schools. We are encouraged to ride together. If this isn't possible the officials usually work out some sort of mileage split between them. Some school will pay both officials for mileage but is not required. If the officials ride together the unwritten rule is the driving official is responsible for post game snacks and beverages.

Oregon has something similar.

The schools pay for one mileage. Each organization decides how they split it among the crew. In more rural areas it is often all to 1 who is expect to drive. In metro areas, it is often divided equally among the crew (the bigger the crew, the smaller the mileage amount) since riding together is often not feasible.

We got a $5/game raise this year for all levels. Our fees go by the quarter length.

8 min: $60
7 min: $50
6 min: $40

We add on $15 if we have to go somewhere for only one game. The vast majority of assignments are JV/V doubleheaders.

40 cents/mile for one driver, round trip. We will split mileage if both people have to drive for some reason, but we usually ride together.

I'm not sure about football, but most of the other sports got similar raises this school year. I know softball and baseball went to $60 for varsity games and $50 for JV games.

Varsity: 67 3 person crew
JV: 49 I think, 2 person crew
7/8/9 single game 44 2 person
7/8/9/ double header 73 2 person crew
No mileage

For one beer? Nothing tastes better than an ice cold can of beer (the athletic director offers us a cooler filled with ice containing a few cans of ice cold beer, and soda) immediately after working a game.

And I'm not kidding. It's true.

I know you are not kidding, because I have seen this up close and personal.

There are some private schools in my area that used to do this on a regular basis. The practice was outlawed by the IHSA, but there are some rare occations this still takes place for some oldtimers. I have been offered but never took a school or AD up on this opportunity.

Kansas Ref- what part of the state are you in?

Here in SE Kansas- V doubleheader BV/GV is 100/3 whistle, 115/2 whistle in the last conference that refuses to go 3. I think JV is 75/2 whistle doubleheader. No mileage.

[WDEvol]

In Alabama:
Varsity - $55/game (always 3 officials)
JV - $40/game (3); $45/game (2)
MS - $35/game (3); $40/game (2)
Clock operator (if an official) - $25/game

Mileage - $8.00 per official, flat rate ($10.00 if over 60 miles)

Most HS dates in our area consist of 3 games - JV boys, V girls, V boys - all worked by the same crew, so $150 + mileage for a night's work.

A.Varsity 3 person-$68
B.Varsity 2 person-$72
C.Varsity 1 person-$83
D.Non-Varsity 2 person-$61

Post season fees:
$81 a official for 2,$77 a official for 3

I've worked at a private school that has done this for our crew, as well.
