If you are hosting the first round/quarterfinal game, please contact the assigning officer or supervisor of the association with confirmation of date, time, and site of the game. Four officials will be assigned. The substitution official will receive $50. The referee will receive $70, and each assistant referee will receive $60 in game fees. The mileage will be 15¢ per mile, per official for those traveling outside the county to the game.
