- Competitive teams each pay 1/2 Referee and one A/R game fees & Academy U9-U10 each team pays half the Referee and one A/R game fee, Academy U7-U8 each team pays 1/2 Referee game fee. Games fees are collected prior to start of game. Each referee should have their own game fee prior to the start of the game. Do NOT keep game fees to split up at half time or end of game. A referee may be replaced for a higher level game and if that referee has all the money, it is difficult to settle up and could lead to a referee not being paid.
