Match Payments

[leaguerefaus]

Anybody comfortable sharing what they're paid for junior matches? Curious to see how much it fluctuates between age groups and different societies.

Normally it's a pint, and sometimes also a meal ticket.
Society Refs are given expenses, if they ask.

They aren't paid for matches? I'm sitting here in shock...

Travel expenses, so much per km.

[leaguerefaus]

Never knew referees got such a stiff deal in some places...
I understand we ref because we love it, but still.

Left home last week at 11.30 45min drive, reffed two games (never again too old for that crap) got a lucozade and a cheese sandwich drove home another 45mins got home at about 6.30. got €25 in travel expenses.

No point being mad if you dont show it.

[Simon Thomas]

6,000-7,000 club referees get paid nothing for reffing junior matches at their own clubs
In England's RFUland 5,450 Society refs get travel expenses if they claim them.
50 or so National Panel Refs get a small match fee and travel expenses
8 or so Championship / Elite refs get a slightly larger match fee, and a few are RFU employees as Development Managers or Officers.
6 or so Elite Referees are full time salaried RFU professional match officials

Rugby Union: Expenses, so between £5-15

Rugby League: No expenses just match based compensation (academy is different)- 1 game-£20 2-£35 3-£45

[leaguerefaus]

No expenses for league where I am but travel is usually very minimal.

U6-11s: $20, 12s: $25, 13-14s: $35, 15-16s: $45, 17-18s: $60.

I thought I wasn't paid enough but now I'm re-evaluating that thought!
