I paid $150 for our kids tourney (kids sub-district and district contracts are considerably more). Officials for my kids tourney reported between 8:15-8:30. I handed out paychecks at 3:00pm (wrestled last match around 2:45). That is about six hours of work. We had plenty of rovers, so they each got to take a lunch break too. That is $25 per hour....not a bad gig. Good officials are well worth whatever the pay is...and some tourneys have longer/harder days.
But we need to keep in mind why we are hosting tourneys to begin with. Every dollar expensed is a dollar that can't be used to build our programs.
