SUBURBAN CONFERENCE 2020 FORM FROM ASSIGNOR MARK BUBALO:

Please fill out the form by Friday, April 3 and return to me via email at mbubalo@bssd.net. If you are not on the Suburban Conference list, please let me know. If you know of others who are interested in doing SC varsity and JV games, you may forward the form to them to fill out and return to me.
As is always the case, I will be making assignments according to officials recommended by the coaches in the league and according to MSHSAA ratings. Please make sure you fill out the form as completely as possible. I always take the time to spot check MSHSAA ratings but I will not look up every single person’s rating. Please be honest and put down your 2019 rating as recorded on the MSHSAA website.
The Suburban Conference ADs voted this spring to move the start time up for all conference VB games. We have strongly recommmended that JV games begin at 5 p.m., followed immediately by the varsity contest. With varsity contests going to the best of 5 matches, we felt that starting earlier would help officials and teams get home at a decent time during the week.
At schools where tripleheaders are played, we recommended that freshman level games start at 4 or 4:30 p.m. so that those officials could be finished in time to stay and be line judges for the varsity games. Where line judges are available to be assigned, the SC will now pay line judges $10 per set, so if a match goes to the full 5 sets, a line judge could recieve as much as $50 for the evening. Certainly, the minumum would be $30.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We will be publishing the complete SC pay scale later in the spring. We have taken into account recommendations made by the executive committee of the GKCOA but most raises they recommended will go into effect for 2021-22 rather than next year, 2020-21. We did not receive it in time to make changes to most budgets that were turned in for next year.
If for some reason you will NOT BE OFFICIATING in 2020-21, please let me know so I can take you off the assignment list. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks for your efforst in advance, getting me the attached form. Again, the deadline is Friday, April 3.
