The problem I have with the new metro rate is I live southwest of Fort Worth. The majority of my varsity games were northwest of Fort Worth. So a game that is 104 miles from my house one way is only 35 from the so called center of the chapter. So I received 18 dollars fro traveling 208 miles. and that happen on 4 games. They tell me it equals out when I do a close game and get mileage but it doesn't. A game 20 miles from me that's outside of the radius I would get 22 dollars for. They mileage for 1 vehicle to the 208 mile game should have been 116. That math doesn't compute. Even if you use the 2 car rate its 89. I like the idea of a set rate but it doesn't work for the ones that don't live in the center of the chapter. My total mileage for 9 varsity games was 1896  miles my compensation was between 300-400 dollars it should have been closer to 1000 by last years rates

My predicament is worse than yours.  The center of my chapter's metro is about 60 miles from my house.  So, when I work within 40 miles, I get hosed.  But, that's just the cost of working games.  When I work games on the other side of my metro, when I get to use non-metro rate, I do pretty well because I'm paid portal to portal, not from the center of my metro area.  So, they are paying me to get to town, and drive right through it.  It doesn't fit everyone's situation, but it isn't bad.

Actually the whole 1204 is screwed up, but I guess it is what it is!

Back when I started, you didn't get any travel, etc, for in-town games.  Only one driver got mileage out of town and it wasn't much.  Things now are better than they were back then.

Doc, back when you and I started they had bigger cars which could carry our big butts!

The main thing about 1204 is the schools (i.e clerks) do not understand it that well and generally screw it up.

I agree about the cars back then.  They were much bigger.

What we did to fix this issue is create a "contract," although TASO doesn't like that term (it most definitely IS a contract for services), that automatically calculates the pay of officials based on the site.  It was done in Excel.  You just state where you were headed and it gives you the proper metro mileage.  The non-metro is portal to portal, so the driver would have to enter their mileage and indicate how many drivers and it will auto calculate what the drivers will receive.  This was done to create uniformity for the AP personnel at the ISD's.
