Club dues typically include league fees and referees somehow get paid. With all of the “no ref” games (never mind no ARs), who is pocketing the extra cash that is not being paid for refs? RCL, the clubs? I’m curious.

The coaches of the specific teams involved split the cash for each game, 50-50. If the managers insist or threaten to blow the whistle, they get cut in. -
The clubs get billed by the referee associations they contract with, so the assumption is that they would be spending less than they would have budgeted. Good luck in getting them to give you any money back though.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Ref fees are a fairly insignificant cost for most clubs. It’s not worth it to refund each player twelve dollars. Same thing with field fees when training gets cancelled for weather. Club doesn’t pay, but the effort to go through and audit/refund is too much. As long as you trust your club, the “excess” revenue is just going to be recycled into the next season anyway.Comment

I think most facilities still charge for fields booked even if training is cancelled for weather.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

There are enough parents who ref from the sideline.Comment

Ha! I will say we’ve had a couple parents from opposing teams get booted from the field recently. I told the young refs that it was very impressive that they maintained control of the situation with a bunch of idiots that were 2 decades older than them.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment
