Just curious what other states make.
Florida HSAA lists regular season fees at $45 for varsity (2 ump), $40 (3-ump), $35 for JV/freshman. Travel is negotiated between associations and schools with a max of $.60/mile one way.

Hear in East Central FL, we get the above rate plus $10.00 Flat rate.
We cover an area that is about 80 miles from north to south...

You get one fee (each) per umpire per location.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Arizona:

Varsity - $40.00/game, 2 umpire, some 3 umpire in invitational tournament finals and state tournament from the quarterfinals on.

FR/JV - $35.00/game, 2 umpire, $52.50/game, 1 umpire

In the Metro Phoenix or Tucson area, flat fee of $7.00 for travel.
Outside of the Metro areas, I believe (not sure) $.44/mile with defined mileage between towns. For FR or JV, mileage is paid with the game fee.
For Varsity, mileage is calculated and paid in a check at the end of the season.

Almost all of the High Schools in the state pay officials via Ref Pay.

Out here in VWT (Very West Texas) we get $40 for varsity and $35 for JV and below. Travel money depends on school location in relation to an agreed upon "bullseye" that is negotiated between our board and the individual school districts. If I am traveling from my west side home to a west side school I can make $16 for driving 2 miles. On the other hand it can be $10 for driving 35 miles.

I should add that in Montana we get $.58/mile if we drive and $.08/mile if we ride in addition to game pay for all out of town games.

In town we recieve no mileage.

ASA/NYSSO Blue:

Are the negotiated rates so high because you have trouble recruiting officials or because of great negotiators.

I tip my hat to the negotiators. I do not umpire for the money but almost $190 for a varsity doubleheader is nothing to sneeze at if you can find it.

Well, you know, that is not in keeping with the infamous holy grail of payment, the UIL's Section 1204. The pay rate for two games is $40.00 per game, unless it is a double header (the exact same two teams, not JV and V for both schools).

The only travel guarantee in 1204 is one car round trip mileage at the state comptroller's rater, and the other car a $10.00 rider fee, though they do allow for officials to negotiate two separate cars getting round trip mileage.

Of course, next year, this is all going to change. The UIL is going to make officials think they are getting a raise by raising game fees while drastically cutting mileage fees. I have already looked at their proposed adjustment to 1204, and for the majority of schools that I drive to, I will be making about 20% less per game, even with the so-called "raise."

Actually, it sounds like you might be using a variant of the upcoming change with your "bullseye" mileage method.

Maryland checking in...........

Average is $65 - $70 for a V game and $55 - $60 for a jv.

My association is 1 1/2 fee for a 1 man game about 50% of jv and a few varsity games.

If we show and the clouds open up we get a full fee, whether a pitch is thrown or not.......

Seth,

How tough is it doing a JV game alone? I have struggled doing U-10 games solo. I can not even imagine doing a JV or Varsity High School contest solo.

Way to much to watch for and the games are way too important.

In Texas you also receive .50 per mile per vehicle.

High School games are more cost efficient here than many of the college games. Typical JUCO or DIII is about a 150-200 mile round trip- no mileage, 150.. for a DH.

Typical HS game- 30-90 miles- V/JV- time limit on the JV, 80.00 plus .50 per mile.

It can be real tough if you have the more skilled JV teams. Worse, this is where the new umpires start.

Most ASA around here is worked alone too.

Oh yeah....and it is only going to get worse now that we have lost our independent officials organization and are in the hands of the state's ADs.
