Hey everyone, I hope your seasons went well; If you are still at it, good luck!

What I want to find out is how many people are in crews throughout the US, even Canada maybe, for different levels. This topic was discussed a little bit earlier in the season, but I'd like to get a little different information.

So please write how many officials you have in your crews for HS Varsity, JH-JV, Little league, and if applicable college D3 , 2, and 1. And also if you want "approx." game fee per person. I'm trying to see if there is a large variance of #s of officials through the country. EX

Good luck everyone!

Hawaii...
 

In Hawaii, each league association is responsible for the number of officials.

5 officials for varsity seems to be the minimum requirement state-wide... Our league is authorized to use 7 (we have about 30 officials and timers serving 6 schools so 7 man is not a problem).

JV games are normally 4 or 5...

Pop Warner we use at least 3 for the smallest division, 4 for the next largest, and 4 or 5 for the big kids.

For the Division I and II state play-off and championship games, the state association is in charge of selecting officials and CCA 7 man mechanics is used.

Keystoneref is correct for PA . I will add that in PA playoffs , besides the 7 man crew , a chain gang (3) is assigned at $35

JV/Freshmen - $180 per crew ($36 each for 5-man, $45 for 4-man)
Youth - 3, 4 or 5 -- $20/game ($22 for WH), 2-3 games per night

Oregon - LOWEST PAY IN THE NATION, 51st Place
 

GREETING from Oregon
<b>51st in pay nation wide</b> - <i>confirmed by Referee Magazine, 11/04 issue</i>

Oregon - <b>NET PAY</b>
HS Varisty - 5 man crew (4A Game) - <b>$42.30</b>
HS Varsity - 4 man crew (3A Game) - <b>$40.40</b>
HS Varsity - 4 man crew (2A Game) - <b>$38.50</b>
HS Varsity - 4 man crew (1A Game) - <b>$38.50</b>
HS JV - 4 man crew (4A game) - <b>$31.80</b>
HS JV - 3 man crew (3A game) - <b>$30.40</b>

Youth Football - 3 man crew - <b>$29.50</b> or <b>$26.60</b> (depending on league)

In addition to the above pay we are paid mileage.
As an example, I live in Portland and my mileage ranged anywhere from $0.73 to $4.38 per game.

For all levels of playoff games we use five officials,
except for 8-Man (1A) which uses 4. <i>(Where you really need five)</i>
The net pay is the same for all levels of playoffs, and for the first round through the finals.
Brace yourself...
a whopping <b>$49.50</b>

We are hoping the publicity in Referee Magazine may help our cause, but we are not going to hold our breath!

Anybody thinking of moving up here???
