Effective August 2012

The following referee pay rates are used for all SCYSL and Santa Clara Sporting league and scrimmage games.

NorCal Premier League League and Scrimmage Games
The following only applies to games where the home team pays the referee cash after the game (NorCal games, scrimmages, etc). The referee pay rate is tied to the game length. The center referee always get paid $1 per length of half that is played - i.e. 35 minute halves equals $35 for the center ref. The AR gets about 15% less. Norcal Spring League has increased the game length for some age groups (u10 and u12) which means that the referees should be getting paid at the rate of the age group 1 year older. Most referees show up to do the game and don’t exactly know how much they should be getting paid, so when they are underpaid by a few dollars, they don’t even know it because many are used to getting paid online at the end of the month. Last year, we sent out emails and dealt with this at the beginning of Spring. This year, we did not do that, so many teams underpaid all Spring, and the referees didn’t realize it. The referee pay rate listed on the website is going to be changed to the following to include game lengths and the statement below.

The Referee pay rate is tied to the length of halves, not the age group.  If your age group is playing longer halves than what is normally listed for your age, then you need to pay at the rate of the higher age group that plays that length of halves.
