Wrestlingfan937 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I was at small school state a couple weeks ago enjoying the world famous pull pork sandwiches they were advertising with the $5 coach band. I began to talk with one of the officials at the event and found out he was new to reffing, maybe 2 years in and claim to be making $700 a week doing so. Working two dual meets and a tournament per week. can someone confirm that this is legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggin89 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I wouldn't say they are wrong, but I would say that it is not the usual. Just giving you an idea, the Duneland Conference in NWI pays $65/dual. Saturday tournaments pay usually between $150-300. Some 2 day tournaments pay $400. Sunday tournaments pay $100-200 or so. I would say a normal week it is around $350 a week if you work 1-2 duals and a Saturday tournament. Obviously sometimes higher, sometimes lower depending on the level of competition. Please don't tell my wife that I could be making more, because she will sell my soul for it! lemercad, buttler73, Coach Moore and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3, NAIA college Duals pay between 150-250 per dual.. one day tourneys between $400-600. D1 a lot more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Scholar Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 High school dual meets on average pay $70 -$85. Some Tournaments pay $175 to $250 and that can be contingent on how long or if its a big school or small school tournament or if its a long tournament and there are exceptions. In my experience, working two dual meets and a tournament, I would be happy walking away with $350. $75+75+200. I also reffed the 1A/2A state. busstogate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
