I though you was number One FanJust myself alone was more than 1 #cheater
My suggestion for the 2023-2024 season fee structure is
1. Premier Open - Premier Masters - $130.00 for Referee - $75.00 For AR's
2. All other Divisions $110.00 for Referee - $65.00 for AR's
Premier Open is currently $100 referee and $ 60 for AR'SWhat are the existing rates?
We all hope your injury’s from wear & tearNot sure if Thumper's post is correct ?
The VMSL Referee's are asking for a raise and negotiations are happening between the VMSL board and the Referee's Committee ( The VMSL Board asked for this committee to be formed in a zoom meeting with the ref's before the season started)
As all negotiations go there is a deference of opinion's on both sides. Both sides are representing there members very well and so far there is no agreement.
I stepped down from the referee committee due to personal issues but I am informed of all the correspondence between the VMSL and the Referee committee. The Referee fees should of been raised on a regular basis to keep up with every day cost more regularly and now we are all just trying to catch up and that’s why in my opinion the amount asked by referees seemed to be inflated. When I first started refereeing in 1997 the referee was paid $50.00 for a middle, we all wore black uniforms, we were not expected to carry around multicolored uniforms till the early 2000's. We were also not paying $1:80 for a liter of gas, now we are expected to take games all over the lower mainland, traveling to the game takes longer now due to traffic as well. We were not expected to pay for parking either or do multiple games a day. Clubs and teams have constantly increased their fees due to cost of operating the teams, but referees are frowned upon when even trying to discuss an increase. Weekly we are held to a standard that is set by players - coaches - and executives who are not qualified to make judgements or constantly question the referee's ability to referee - experience - and in my case on one occasion my integrity.
The one thing that is concerning is that young referees are being threatened by certain people from the VMSL Board that if they support the Referee committee they will not be giving games in the VMSL in the future. It is already hard enough to retain young referees and this behavior is not acceptable.
