Game Fees: What are you paid in your area?

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.

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.

Are games actually assigned with only one official or just because of an emergency and it couldn't be filled?

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, we often have difficulty assigning mid-afternoon middle school, and freshman high school, games. Rarely, they may only be assigned a single official.

The usual reason for only one official is a screwup, by the assigner, or by the an official, or a last minute illness, or injury, or other extenuating circumstances (traffic, car accident, flat tire, etc.).

We actually have some written guidelines for one person mechanics.

I'm on boards in ME and NH and haven't started working in NH where there are considerably fewer officials available so that may indeed happen but in Maine everything from 7th grade up is always 2 person unless there is an emergency.

Games where a second official is unavailable are moved to a day/time where a second official can work.

I worked a JVG game solo for a quarter last winter due to my partner being an idiot and it wasn't easy to do. Arguably when he showed up it didn't get much better but at least I didn't have to run as many weird patterns to get coverage.
