Schedule changes shall be requested in writing by
the home school principal to the association’s booking agent/commissioner with

deletions or changes may be charged $10.00 each at the discretion of the
appropriate association. All checks for
schedule changes shall be made payable to the appropriate association.
If a contest must be rescheduled because of a
shortage of officials, as defined by FHSAA guidelines, without two weeks notice
from the association, the association may be required to pay a fee of $10.00 to the home school at the
discretion of the home school principal.
The home school will be charged the full official’s fee and travel for each official once the contest has started, or any scheduled team fails to show, or the contest was incorrectly scheduled by the home team. See attached addendum’s for specific sport’s exception to this paragraph where needed.
The officials’ association will be responsible to pay an amount equivalent to the official’s fee to the home school when an assigned official does not show for a contest and the contest is rescheduled.

The officials’ associations will invoice the school the first day of the month for the total amount owed by the school for the previous month’s officials’ fees. The invoice will also include a $20 per month processing fee, plus $5.00 travel fee for each official’s site visit. For this fee the association will write the individual checks for the officials used during the previous month.
The bookkeeper will issue one check to the officials’ association no later than the 15th of the month for all services provided.
The North Florida Wrestling Officials Association requires all new officials to officiate Junior Varsity matches the first year in the association. As a result, there may be two (2) officials assigned to a match if the association feels there may be Junior Varsity matches held in conjunction with the Varsity match. If two (2) officials have been assigned, one for the varsity match and one for the JV match, then a full varsity fee plus mileage and one JV fee (no mileage) would be paid if JV matches are wrestled. If the association has assigned only one official to cover a match, the following fee schedule will be in effect for the single varsity official.
The
full varsity fee will be charged for the first 14 matches wrestled. Forfeited matches are not considered as
having been wrestled. JV matches wrestled will be considered as part of the varsity fee in
place of any forfeited matches. The JV
pay will be calculated on any additional matches wrestled. The
official will then be paid half (1/2) the junior varsity fee for the first four
(4) JV matches wrestled. If there are five (5) or more JV matches wrestled the official will receive the full JV fee.
Example: Twelve (12) varsity matches wrestled with
two (2) forfeits. Six (6) JV matches
wrestled. A total of eighteen (18)
matches were wrestled. The full varsity
fee would be paid for the first fourteen (14) matches wrestled. One half (1/2) the JV fee would be paid for
the additional four (4) JV matches wrestled.
If a Junior Varsity match is scheduled anytime other than following the Varsity match, the official will receive a full JV fee plus mileage.
