At its final meeting in September, the Task Force recommended an increase based on the average 2023-24 game fees paid among all eight (8) southeastern states (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida). The agreed upon increase comes in slightly above the average fees paid and includes travel fees for officials traveling less than 50 miles, one way, from the official's association address to the host school. Any official traveling 50-74 miles, one way, will receive an additional $10 fee, and 75+ miles an additional $10. In all, up to $30 (including the $10 in the game fee for all officials) in travel can be earned based on the one-way distance traveled. In all cases, the agreed upon fees are the maximum fees, inclusive of game plus travel, that may be paid by any FHSAA member school to any FHSAA registered officials association. This fee structure does not preclude the payment of lower fees, if agreed upon. This increase will take place beginning with the 2024-25 school year.
