Just wondering what some of you MD's do for their RO's as a thankyou/reward for working your match? Do you have different things you do depending on the level of the match? Does it depend on how many squads they RO? Lunch paid for? Free match or a partial fee? etc.
 
I think it will depend on the Level of match...

As Madness has mentioned, at the Sin City Level II matches, the Officials shot for free, had their bellies filled with Timmies in the morning, were fed lunch supplied by Hooters, got their choice of shooting slot, and had their name in a prize table not only for competitors but a second one exclusively for staff (RO's, build, tear-down crew).

As you get up to Level 3's, I would expect to see the Staff taken care of a lot better. Volunteering to officiate doesn't mean staff should be expected to dish out $500 plus out of their own pocket, for rooms, travel, meals...

But I think for the Level 3's it is important for the staff to know in advance what you will be reimbursed for or what the incentive is going to be.

At a level 3 match usually lunch at the last level 2 I ro'd cheaper entry fee thats about all ,at my club we allways provide pizza/coffee for the crew/RO.:cheers:
 
Due to the high stress match officials have to deal with I always try to arrange for a little sensual massage with a 'happy ending'.

But sometimes Bob is too tired so they are out of luck.

We let them off the lead once a day, put some fresh water in a bowl and if they are good, they get a Scoobie Snack
 
I gave up being an RO, due to ignorant clowns trying to complain about a re-shoot due to a range malfunction, or trying to tell the RO's and RM's "their idea" of how the rules should be. Not to mention seeing grown men cry with snot bubbles on their lip, fury backs in tank tops, and wearing a pair of "Daisy Duke" shorty shorts with dirty ol' clackers hangin' out and running like Forest Gump was just a plain nasty sight to see!! Or running behind some "pork chop" that couldn't reach his back side to wash the stink off, before entering a match...that was always nice!:puke: The other thing I "really enjoyed" was listening to some old farts gun go full auto, because the ol' blind bugger thought he was a "gunsmith" and had to get that trigger "a tad lighter".:ar15: Or the time the same old buggers wife was told to load and make ready a shotgun, and she hit the "gunsmiths" fat safety, while loading, and when she chambered a round, had her chubby booger picker was on the bang switch, and blew a hole in the dirt right in front of the loading table. The RO almost got the word STOP out of his mouth, when the gun went bang, and he pooped his pants! Then IPSC makes these two RO's as well! That was enough "thanks" for me to pack it in! :cheers::D .....Damn I really miss being an RO! I hope I gave some of you a good laugh with my little rant! Cheers!

In BC we are piloting and RO rewards program. An extra five dollars is collected with the match fees, and the money is used to for lottery for officials that worked events. It is a small token, but it has been receiving a good response so far. Seventy prizes have been awarded to officials in the amounts of $40.00 to $50.00
