State:_____AZ__________

All JV and V HS games are assigned by the state. There is no assignment fee. I am in the greater Phoenix area, we get $5.00 mileage for any game in the metro area. For JV games, mileage is paid at the game site, for V games, mileage is sent in a check at the end of the season. Outside of Phoenix and Tucson, mileage is paid on a per mile basis, I am not sure of the exact amount.

Varsity (2-Man) Game Fee:__45-52 depending on league

J.Varsity (2-Man) Game Fee:_40_____

Assignment Fee: Either $___none - schools pay them_

In the more populated areas of the state, fees are significantly higher - as are the number of games. Oh, we do not get milage for any level. I'm in north central Pa - about 35 miles from Williamsport - for those who know LL.

Steve M

I am moving to where Steve is!!!!

State: Texas (North Texas to be exact)

Varsity (Two Man): 30.00

JV (Two Man): 30.00

Assignment fee: Paid by schools.

We also get .30 a mile and a percentage of the gate.

Scott

STATE: NC
VARSITY (2 Man): $52
JV (2 Man): $42
Doubleheader (1 of each above/2-5inning games): $75
Mileage Fees included in above.
ASSIGNMENT FEES: $60 to booking agent per season.

You can get more in Delaware!

In Central Il......

$35 to $45 Varsity (2 Person)
$30 to $45 J.V. (2 Person)

Most umpires book their own games.
Never been paid Mileage in High School.
No idea what % of gate means(The schools we work don't charge admission).

Minnesota:
Varsity: $50-55 (2 man) No mileage
JV: $30-40 (1 man)
no assignment fee - but umpires pay a fee of $25-40 per season to join an association. I belong to 2 of them.

scott,
You should, by UIL assessment be getting 34.5 Cents a mile.
The % of gate is based on amount collected at gate. Up to
150.00 is 5.00, 150 to 300 is 10, and so on. In my 16 inning
game, there were over 500 in attendance. Most of my games are in
the 60 mile range one way. I work out of three chapters and never
do my local school. We pay 25.00 chapter fees and whatever TASO
requires. 50.00 I think. For varsity tournaments we get 27.00 per game
w/o travel. I do like Steve's and mistza's figures.

Game Fees
 

State - Kentucky

Fees - Usually we are assigned a V/JV DH - Fee is $80 per 7 inn./5 inn. game. If we work two 7 inn. games - fee is $95.

Assigning fee (per season) - $40.

These can vary by region, as the policy board has the power to pay higher fees, but the baseball fees can me no more than $5.00 above the softball.

Varsity (2-Man) Game Fee:__________58

J.Varsity (2-Man) Game Fee:_______41_

Assignment Fee: Either $____

Or % ___7_____
Varies significantly within the state.

I forgot to break down the fee structure:
$50 for Varsity
$30 for JV

CecilOne - Which state please?

In cent Cal we get about 42$ for Var. in two man and 58$for one man.About 35$ for two man jv.43$ for one man j.v.No money for travel.We pay 60$ in dues and The assignor gets a fee for the season which I think is about 600$.

In Michigan we must belong to State H.S. association; they provide books (Rules, Case, Ump), rules clinics, and run the State tournaments. Fee is $30.

Can't speak for East Side, but in our area the local association assigns all games, receives fee from schools.
Pay is $37 Varsity, $33 JV (doubled for DH). Freshmen play 2 five inning game DH, one man crew - pay is $62.

I live between two meto areas. In area south where umpires contract their own games, schools do not pay assignment fees so game fees are higher ($45 JV, $50 Varsity).

Other than freshmen, we are never assigned 1 man games. However, if circumstances dictate working alone then we get both checks.

No mileage except for State semi's and finals, then also get housing and food accomdations.

Glen:

I know about the .345 cents a mile being the state standard, however when our board contracted with the schools, they contracted for .30 a mile. It raised a stink in the chapter for while, but most of us have gotten over it.

Scott

WOW Bob, you don't need milage with fees like that.

Scott, I have heard that they are going to discuss raising the softball pay
but don't think it will be in the Delaware range. :D

glen

In Delaware, for college, the longest round-trip your going to have to deal with is about 110 miles. For HS, it's not going to be much more than 50-60 miles.

Hey, you never know about God's sense of humor. There may be a horrific storm one week and the Rio Grande may turn North. Then you would all be working for mucho peso. Si?

Maine, huh, when do you get to start the NFHS season?
I was stationed in Bangor way back in the 50's and it
snowed in late April that year. I know it is pretty
in the fall, but cold.

glen [East Texas]

Whiskers:
NFHS season started this past week. Had a scrimmage last week and hit it lucky as it was 70. Next day got down to 35 and the morning was 19. First "real" game of the season for me is tomorrow afternoon. College season starts the first weekend in April. Didn't get any games in though until last weekend. My first game was cancelled and my next college game is this coming Thur. We handle a school about 70 north of where I live and have done games up there in gloves while it was snowing. Got to love Maine weather....

Way down south in Dixie
 

Here's what we get in Alabama:

Varsity (2-man): $30 plus mileage (usually a set fee based on distance from association meeting site, from $5 to $30).
JV (2-man): $27.50 plus mileage.
MS (2-man): $22.50 plus mileage.

Any assignment fees are paid by the schools directly to the local association (of course we have 3 or 4 competing associations in this area).

AHSAA dues: $30.00
Local dues: $30.00 (Used to pay treasurer, assignment officer, and end of season banquet)

Maximum fees are set by the state (and apparently low). All officials must be a member of a local association recognized by AHSAA.

AUsomTiger

SW Okla

$5:00 a scheduled inning. V/JV Travel money only at the very distant school. No assignment fee schools contact umps direct.

What do you all think about getting our Congressmen to make officiating amateur sports tax-exempt?
I guess the higher levels where you can actually make a living, like Div 1 basketball, would be an exception. Maybe it could be based on a maximum percentage of your total income or on the level of play. It just seems that most of us are minimally compensated, just enough to cover expenses, but are also providing a semi-charitable community service that could justify the change. If it resulted in fewer increases of officiating fees, it would also save schools, local governments, etc. some money, adding to the justification.

Just what we need - yet another group who benefits from our horribly complex tax structure. If you want to donate your time and money, donate it. If you don't, don't.

Absolutely NOT! The government already has it's nose in places I and the Constitution don't believe they should be. So, I sure as hell am not going to give them additional reasoning to get more intimate with my life and the way I live it.
