V. OFFICIAL'S FEES: Officials fees are $70 per game for sectionals; $100 per game for districts. In addition, a travel payment of $1 per mile one-way, beginning at mile 51 from the official's directory address will be paid (e.g. if a tournament site is 65 from the official's home, the official would receive a $15 travel payment).
To determine travel payments, managers will use Mapquest or similar internet mapping programs. Managers are responsible for determining the correct amount to be paid to each official. Where practical, the manager should have checks ready no later than the conclusion of the game.
If an official is notified of a cancellation, or rescheduling, prior to departure the official will not receive any compensation. A telephone call to the contact number(s) the official has provided at least one hour prior to the normal departure time will be considered good notice. If an official is notified in route, the official will receive the travel payment but not the game fee. In these cases, the payment will be a minimum of $20. If after beginning the game is interrupted and not completed, the officials will receive full payment.
VI. MANAGER'S FEE: The Manager's fee for Sectionals shall be $200 flat fee, plus $10.00 per team, plus 1 % of the Total Gross Receipts, the total sum not to exceed $700. The Manager's fee for Districts shall be a flat fee of $275, plus 1 % of the Gross Receipts, the total sum not to exceed $800.00.
VII. ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS: It is the responsibility of the Tournament Manager to see that all regulations-those of the State Board of Control and those of the District Board-are enforced. He may delegate to someone, but he must supervise to see that all regulations are being followed. In the event of a problem, the Tournament Manager is accountable.
VIII. CHEERLEADERS: Number, admission, conduct, pyramids, etc., follow the State Manual.
IX. TRAVEL EXPENSES: Each participating team shall be allowed a Flat Fee of $8 plus 60 cents per mile, one way, for each game to cover its travel expenses.
X. SHARE OF PRE-SALE: Each Tournament Manager shall keep a record of the advance sales of each participating school. Each school will receive a refund of forty percent (40%) of its advance sales if the tournament operates at a profit. A record of the refund shall be kept on the form provided and the total for each school shall be listed under the heading of "meals" on the Financial Report.
XI. FAILURE TO RETURN TICKETS AND MONEY AT SPECIFIED TIME: All tickets and the money for those sold must be returned to the Tournament Manager, or his designee, by the time specified by the Tournament Manager. If, as determined by the Tournament Manager, a school fails to meet this deadline, the school shall have $100 deducted from its tournament earnings. The District Board will support any Manager who has to make this decision.
All computations of a school's earnings (travel plus pre-sale plus bonus) shall be completed and then the $100 deducted from the gross. Any amount deducted is then to be divided equally among the other participating schools and added to their earnings. If one school fails to meet a deadline more than once, $100 is to be deducted for each offense.
If two (2) or more schools fail to meet a deadline, none of them share in the distribution. In other words, if school A and school B fail to meet a deadline, school A does not get a share from school B, and school B does not get a share from school A. If there were sixteen schools in this tournament, the other fourteen would share the $200 equally.
Ticket sellers and ticket takers should not be at the same place at the same time. They should be separate.
BONUS: After deducting the total mileage allowance for all schools and 40% pre-sale for all schools, the remainder shall be divided among the participating schools on the basis of the number of games played.

1. Operating expenses will be paid in full. The District will assume this as deficit, if necessary.
2. State Share, or that part of it which remains if there are insufficient funds to pay the full amount. (Boys Only).
3. District Board Share, or that part of it which remains if there are insufficient funds to pay the full amount.
4. Mileage (will be pro-rated if there are insufficient funds to pay the full amount).
