I don't know what the new officers will plan to do for this season. |
Sorry to resurrect a dormant thread.
The division sent out an email to referees yesterday.

The division pay scale for this year is $40 per pool & $5 per DE. If you are FOC rated 5 or better, there is a $25 bonus.

Variable pay without guarantees is, as mentioned previously (
post #149), a discouragement for referees, especially those out of the immediate area. Committing a day, plus a 4-hour round-trip drive, without knowing what to expect in compensation isn't particularly appealing, even if the actual results should be completely acceptable.
The division may have gone to a flat-rate system, but if so they have returned to an a la carte system. The bonus for highly rated referees is new. There was no mention of an upper cap (previously $120), so that might have gone away. I can't seem to locate any mention of pay rates on the website any more, so that might have been updated off the site.
On to another topic...

This is why I attended the tournament. Voting with my wallet and positive reinforcement of behavior that I would like to encourage in the future.
