How & When Do I Get Paid?

High School Games

Paid directly by the team to the official through ArbiterPay or Invoice.

During the 2024 Season, 19 of the 22 CTGHSLL member programs intend to pay officials through ArbiterPay. Antonian, St. Mary's Hall and Smithson Valley require officials to submit an invoice.

Payment is due to the official by the end of the month in which the game occurred. For late payments that are not received by the end of the month or within 20 days of the game date, officials are entitled to an additional $15 late fee. If you have not been paid for a game, please notify the Treasurer at treasurer@ctwloo.org immediately.

INVOICING: Officials need to complete the CTWLOO invoice and W9 before an Antonian, St. Mary's Hall or Smithson Valley home game. Officals should bring a physical CTWLOO invoice and W9 with them to the game to hand to the home team's coaches or GDA before the game starts, and email a copy of the CTWLOO invoice and W9 to the home team's contacts. The CTWLOO Treasurer, Rachel Gozhansky, will try to email reminders to officials scheduled to work home games for these 3 teams 1-2 days before the game.

Youth Games

Paid by CTWLOO to the official via ArbiterPay by the 10th of the month after the month in which the game occurred.
