  1. Enter a name for the Travel Fee.
  2. Select a Sport, Level, and Position from the drop-down menus. This will decide which slots the fee will apply to.
  3. Under Bill-To and Site, you can select any Bill-Tos or sites that the travel fee solely applies to.
  4. Check the Game Status box if you only want the fee to apply if the game status is Normal (the travel fee will not apply to games that are marked as a rainout, canceled, forfeit, suspended,  or postponed).
  5. Select if the travel fee will apply to all officials, officials marked as the driver, or farthest.
    • Driver: With this option selected, the travel fee will only apply to slots marked as Driver on games. You can mark the other officials as riders if they’re not the driver and don’t get travel pay. Only assigners can mark officials as drivers, officials cannot mark themselves as the driver.
    • Farthest: With this option selected, the travel fee will only apply to the furthest official on a game. The system looks at each official's distance from their starting postal code to the game site's postal code and whichever official is furthest will get the travel fee.

Tips and Troubleshooting

  1. In the Sport/Level/Position section of the Add Travel Fee Rule page, a message will indicate if a fee has already been created for that combination.

    • If a red "Combo already exists" message appears, there is already a travel fee created and will need to be edited from the main Travel Fees page. If a green "Combo available" message appears, there is not a travel fee and it is available to be created.
