Rates?

What are the rates where you work HS? In Louisiana there is a huge dispute over officials pay and our brothers and sisters there only are paid $75 a crew for a varsity match in the regular season and $110 a crew for the playoffs.
Here it's:
Varsity R1-$67
Varsity R2-$57

JV R1-$48
JV R2-$43

Sub-Varsity Alone:$57

Michigan pay really varies by location. Here is the breakdown for the conference I work the most.

Frosh or JV/Varsity DH (all 3 JV sets, 3 of 5 Varsity) $75 per official (1 official for subvarsity, come together to work Varsity).

Another conference is JV/Varsity DH $75. Frosh do Varsity Lines for $55 total.

Why do they pay R1 and R2's different. They are both officials. Do they pay the plate umpire and base umpire in baseball or softball differently as well?

We pay the base and plate umpires the same in baseball and softball ($75 in baseball $68 in softball). I don't know why the R1 and R2 are paid differently-I'd guess since the R1 is the lead official on the match we decided to pay them differently.We also in 1 league and at a couple of other sites cover lines for varsity at $35 a person.A vast majority of our home schools in playoffs ask for us to cover their lines at the same rate.Most of the time on those line assignments you're just there for varsity,last year once I did a freshman match and then varsity lines for a total of $102.

In my area, we work double matches (JV/Varsity) for most schools and the rate varies by league. All support officials are provided by the host school and the R1/R2 get the following:

League 1: $87 per dual match, $64 for Varsity, $57 for JV
League 2: $93 per dual match, $67 for Varsity, $54 for JV
League 3: $107 per dual match, $72 for Varsity, $65 for JV
League 4: $90 per dual match, $57 for Varsity, $48 for JV

League 3 is the highest rate in the state, and other areas get much lower rates. State Championship matches pay $75 for R1/R2 and $40 for support officials.

So on a dual match day you get just the listed dual rate but if it's one match it's the rate for that level-correct pavbref?

[pavbref]

Yes, if you work a single varsity or JV match, you get the appropriate rate for that level

Ironic that R2 pays less when, at the higher levels, they work harder than the R1.

I would agree especially when that 15 yr old kid you've just barely shown how to keep score about 12 pts in says wait we have a wrong server
