Could you guys give me some idea what you typically get for games and mileage? Typically, here in central and northern Mich AD's pay around $300 for a 5 man crew and $20-$30 for gas. Thanks for your input

Why didn't you ride with the crew?

Here (CO), one driver gets mileage. Anyone who wants or needs to drive separately eats the mileage.

In NW PA where I work it's $67 for 5 man. If we work a game with 6 it's $56 a game. No mileage. Plus we are at ALL varsity games at least 90 mins before game time.
Playoffs go up to $72 for 7 man.

Im in a private school association for Louisiana and Mississippi. We run a 5 man crew for varsity, all officials make $90. if we take a clock operator they make $50. the association does not pay travel for regular season games, but we work about 5 or 6 preseason jamborees and all money is put into a travel fund in our local region. travel pay ranges from $20 to $45 per trip.

WIAA - Wisconsin for playoffs.

Officials will be paid:
a. Officiating Fee - $70. (Checks and contracts to be issued by the host school.)
b. Expenses - 45¢ per mile (round trip) for travel.
c. Officials shall travel together with mileage paid to one official. If officials choose to travel separately,
the mileage for the longest trip may be split between the officials.
d. There is no separate meal and/or room allowance.

I'd say we're on lower end of the stick here nationwide...but still not a bad gig.

Here in Northern Virginia it ranges from about $63 for a 7 man fee for Varsity to $110 for a 4 man fee for Varsity, we do mostly 5 man during regular season and that is from $89 to $98 depending on classification, which ranges from 2A to 6A. No travel, no mileage, just 2 hours to go 30 miles in rush hour. We are required to be there a minimum of 90 minutes prior to game time as well.

In Michigan the conferences, or individual schools set the rate of pay for each sport. For football, the conference I assign a different sport in pays $60 per official for a 5 man crew (no mileage), JV/Freshman pays $90 for 2 games with a 4 man crew or $72 per official for a 5 man crew (this is for working 2 games).


For the MHSAA playoffs, the MHSAA sets the pay rate.

Pre-District or District $55 per official. Regional $60, Semifinal and Finals $65 per game.

The MHSAA will pay mileage to officials for post-season games if they travel over 50 miles at the rate of $0.20 per mile over 50 miles. They also pay a per diem for some events as needed, including meals at the rate of $14 per day and may pay for lodging.



Personally in the events I work, I prefer not to accept the mileage, as the IRS mileage rate is much better than the mileage the MHSAA pays, and I also do self employed work outside of officiating, so I generally claim a large chunk of my yearly mileage anyway.

Arizona $70 game fee, .44 per mile for driver (round trip), .04 per mile rider. In Metro area (Phoenix, Tucson) you only get $10 for mileage.
