I am acting as a Meet Director for the first time this fall, and working on all those little details I had never really thought about in detail before.
My question is, are meet officials customarily compensated? If so, how much? I am not talking about timers, or the person running the computer, or me. I am talking about the starter, the stroke judge, i.e. the folks who need to be certified by USA swimming as qualified to do their job. I had assumed that they were paid. Our club President does not believe we have paid them for past meets. We are both wondering what is customary.
If you have direct knowledge of what your team does or has done for a meet, please share. I appreciate your help.
Matt
