Setting up hospitality and pay

Officials decide whether to apply partly based on what's covered. Filling in the hospitality and pay sections accurately gets you better applicants and avoids day-of misunderstandings.

Hospitality toggles

• Travel allowance, mileage or a flat travel stipend. Toggle on and describe the policy (e.g. "$0.65/mile, capped at $200").
• Meals provided, lunch, dinner, snacks. Toggle on and describe what's included.
• Housing available, hotel block or local lodging. Officials opt in when applying.
• Per diem, a flat daily stipend, separate from meals/travel.

Pay policies

• Tournament: Pay policy, describe daily/match rate, payment timing, whether it's 1099 or W-2.
• College: Referee pay policy and Umpire pay policy are separate fields, since referees and chair umpires are often paid differently.

Default head referee pay and Default official pay

Below the free-text policy fields, the Compensation section now has two structured dollar inputs: Default head referee pay and Default official pay. These are optional, but if you fill them in, they pre-fill the per-official amounts in the Mark match completed dialog so you aren't retyping the rate for every match. Leave them blank if your pay varies match-to-match and you'd rather enter amounts each time.

If you run pay through Bluebridge

If you've also picked a Bluebridge fee mode and your event carries the powered by Bluebridge badge, the defaults above feed straight into the payment-request workflow. See Bluebridge fee modes for the exact math on each mode, and Marking a match completed for the step-by-step.

Where it shows up

On the event detail page, the Hospitality card shows each perk as a check or X with the description inline. Officials see this before they apply.
