Game Fees
« on: June 16, 2016, 11:03:44 AM »
I remember seeing this posted a couple of years ago.  But can't find it.  What are states paying now days?

Utah is $57 for Varsity. $64 for Post season.  $44 for Sub Varsity.

It's a formula based on ticket sales in Texas. Average is $100 based on my experience. Country games will generally be less and big In town games a bit more.

Saw it posted on the MHSAA website. It has gone up to $100/game with playoffs and championships staying the same.
Middle School and JV went up a bit too if I'm not mistaken.

Texas may get more for varsity games, but it sure looks like all of the other states get more for sub varsity.

Volume of games more than makes up for that.  When I worked in Michigan, a 9th/JV doubleheader was a relatively rare occurrence.  I even remember specific occasions where the association would have two different crews at the same site for back to back JV/frosh games.   

I dont think I worked any JV sites in Texas last year that I had fewer than 2 games...and most of the time it was 3-4.  With the changes to 1204 this year, TX will be above average on JV based on the requirements to work all games at a site in a given day provides the opportunity to pull over 150 for a triple/quad JV set.

I don't know what the rest of Virginia is paying, but for our association, we bill the schools:

JV - divisions 1 through 4 $350 (split among 5 officials, $70 each); divisions 5 and 6 $420 (divided among 7 officials, $60 each)

Varsity - divisions 1 through 4 $450 (divided among 5 officials $90 each); divisions 5 and 6 $630 (divided among 7 officials, $90 each)

If we provide a clock operator, that adds an additional $70.

Divisions 1 through 4 also are billed a travel fee of $65 to $80 per game divided among crew members as well.

We also have enough officials that we can cover just about every division 5 and 6 game (the larger schools) with 7 officials.  If for some reason we can only cover with 5, those officials split the fee 5 ways instead of 7.

Something else to consider outside Texas - how is subvasity defined?  In Texas, we not only have Frosh / JV -- we also have 7th and 8th grade, and the random Soph games.  So, we have SV M, T, W and Th (and as noted earlier they are often 2x, 3x or 4x games).

  I have a sense that most other states do not have 7th / 8th grade ball in school.

DallasLJ, I don't know about up there, but I suspect it is the same as we have in central Texas, we have to combine games at one site or they will not get covered. 

Hef, about 10 years ago the UIL changed the pay rate to make all games a flat $450, for all levels.  The schools complained and they changed it so the pay is based on how many minutes are played per quarter.  I liked the flat fee structure because it made it easy for the schools and officials to know how much they were to get paid, instead of having to guess how many minutes are played per quarter, and we didn't have as much trouble getting guys out to work games.  Yes, pay does make a difference.  When you are looking to work a double header with kickoff at 4:30 and the field is as hard as a rock, with no grass and mostly dirt and dust, and the temperature is 106 with an index of 115, yeah, most guys don't really want to be out there.

I would imagine that would make getting any sort of meaningful increase in the future pretty difficult.
the dialogue for a $5-10 increase (per official) is easier to have than a $50-100 increase (per game).

Dallas, in our association, everything below varsity is sub-varsity. One of the counties we serve offers middle school ball, and some of the schools we serve had both a JV and a freshman team. (I'm not sure if they still have both Frosh and JV, after budget cuts a few years back.)

Middle school and Frosh games pay the same and regular JV.

Ohh...I thought he meant $450 as a flat fee for the whole game, split by however many officials worked.

Tennessee is $100 per game in both the regular and postseason.  ECO gets $70.  Mileage is paid for playoff games.
