$30.00 - Mason Co., Owen Co., Carroll Co., Gallatin County, and Maysville St. Patrick
$20.00 - Pendleton Co. and Grant Co.

RECOMMENDATION: This fee is paid to ONE official per session only. This is applied to Center official in Varsity match or first official listed if it is a 2-person system. Please try to carpool and drive one car to schools. If more than one official drives to site, please share the travel fee equally. Schools will pay only one official. Suggestion: Have several blank pay vouchers with you as you go to sites. These can be downloaded from the NKSOA website - www.nksoa.org. Click on HS referee, then on NKSOA forms, then on pay forms. By the 2009 season, all public schools may be using Vouchers and NO checks will be available at game site.

If checks are not ready at site, or if not correct, complete voucher and leave with school administrator. This will enable school to mail checks to the proper official.

Please notify Assigning Secretary of pay not received 10-14 days after game in question.

Official's Uniforms

Gold pinstripe is the state preferred uniform. These are required for state semi-final and final matches. Red pinstripe and black with white pinstripe are acceptable alternatives. Some officials also have purchased the blue one.

In past years, the gold pinstripe was worn 90-95% of the time - only possible conflicts are if Notre Dame plays NCC. There might be an additional conflict if Ryle chooses to wear solid black.

Field Conditions

Please notify the assigning secretary with any situations at sites that need to be addressed; i.e. improperly marked fields, dangerous field condi
tions, goal posts not properly secured, problem with location of, or seriously unruly, spectators.

If there is a serious situation (injury or serious problem with spectators) please fill out a game report, which will be available on the NKSOA web site, and send to the assigning secretary after phoning with the pertinent information.

Reporting of Red Cards

This can be handled by using either method.
If using the khsaa.org website, please email the assigning secretary with info.
If using the nksoa.org website, both the KHSAA and assigning secretary will be notified.
Be sure to inform both coaches, immediately after issuing, the reason for the red card.

Yellow cards DO NOT have to be reported. If situation seems to be habitual, please contact the assigning secretary to see if further action is necessary.
