REFEREE PAYMENTS:

Referee payment on the field continues with the fee structure below. If the referee, including the ARs, are not paid prior to the game, then the game will not be played. Each team pays half of each official's fee including the ARs, separately. Each team must have the exact amount to pay the referee/AR fee(s). The Coach will pay their share to each official regardless if the other team fails to show up. If the referee cancels/postpones the game due to an unplayable field or lightning, the referee still must be paid. If a team does not appear for a scheduled game, they will forfeit the game. Non-forfeiting team must pay its share of the fees. The league will pay the fees for the forfeiting team.
