Rates are set by the Board of Directors of the SDFVOA. Member schools should begin processing payment within one week of the contest. If payment is not sent out in 30 days of the contest, the Official will be owed a $20 late fee.

*Regular match fees are paid to each official if the tournament format includes "Best 3 out of 5 matches". (A $20 solo fee is also paid if the official works a 3 out of 5 set without a 2nd official).

*Officials are entitled to a minimum 4 matches each tournament they are assigned to.

Assignor Fees

All officials are responsible for paying the Assignment Secretary
"assignment fees" for scheduling their worked matches for the season.

The current fees for assignments are 5% of the total match fees earned each season.

The Assignment Secretary will invoice each official total amounts owed each season.
