Other Items For Legislative Council Action:

Tournament Fees - During regular season play, leagues and schools have the option to establish tournament fees with officials groups unless specified elsewhere in the above fee schedule. Those fees must be stated on contracts sent to officials prior to the tournament.

  1. Mileage - 40 cents per mile. For regular season contests, the most an official should receive for mileage reimbursement is 75 miles. This does not apply to post season contests where officials are assigned by CHSAA; exception see #2 note 1 below
  2. Only ONE driver will be paid for each contest. This will be paid to the official on the crew who travels the furthest. Issues with multiple drivers must be solved between the officials and the assignor prior to the game.
  3. In lieu of per diem, a rider fee of $10 is paid to officials, non-drivers only, who are riding on trips of 75 miles or more one-way.

Note 1: The Jefferson County (except Conifer, Elizabeth, Evergreen and Summit), Denver, Continental, East Metro (except Fort Lupton), Front Range (except Fort Collins, Loveland, Poudre and Rocky Mountain), Frontier (except Bennett, Clear Creek, Lake County, Middle Park and Platte Canyon), Metropolitan, and Centennial leagues will not pay mileage between league cities, but will pay a mileage travel stipend of $2 to each official between league cities per day of assignments. Colorado Springs schools will pay mileage travel stipend of $2 per day of assignments to officials selected from the Colorado Springs Officials Association. An official that is assigned to two or more contests at a given site on the same day shall be paid one travel stipend or reimbursement.

Individual Mileage Buffer
No mileage will be paid to an official whose town of residence is 20 miles or closer to the host school. Full mileage (including first 20 miles) will be paid to officials who travel over 20 miles. This does not apply to the metro area officials described above that receive the $2 travel stipend.

Priorities
When a site or date change occurs, the officials originally assigned should be given the first chance to work the rescheduled game.

No-Show
In all other sports, when one official is a "no-show", the other officials working the contest shall split 50% of the extra check.  (Not to exceed 50% of standard fee).

Guidelines for No-Shows
Officials Associations must have on file with CHSAA a copy of their constitutions, rules, and by-laws that outline their disciplinary procedures for dealing with no shows as well as other CHSAA expectations.  Schools should contact the CHSAA office and identify the officials so that the local officials associations can take action. Leagues and schools are encouraged to develop procedures for use in these situations as well.

Official Worked Contest for Volleyball
A Volleyball V/JV solo official shall be paid the single rate game fee and a half. Soph/Fresh shall be paid the single rate game fee.

A single assigned or single self-assigned official to a contest will receive the posted single game fee.

Good Faith
When a school has made a good faith effort to contact an official of a postponement or overbooking, no fee shall be paid to any official.   That same official shall have the first opportunity to work the canceled contest.  When an effort to contact an official of overbooking or cancellation has not been made prior to the time an official has left to work the contest, 50% of standard fee plus any travel allowance due will be paid to an official who shows up to officiate the contest.  Once a game or match is started, the official is entitled to the entire game or match fee.
