For seven years, the national day of arbitration, involving the four major team sports, is reborn in the fall. A general mobilization to more than one way: to raise awareness of a cause in danger but also to recruit. .
The man does not judge. But faced with the rise of deviant behavior, fighting organized. It’s official. A licensee of the home club, listed on the scoresheet, is empowered to suspend the game until the start of a spectator disturbing.
The echo is the same in all disciplines. Rudeness, physical or verbal. Faced with these ills, the referees are on the frontline. But their ranks are often sparse. The problem is general. But even more than the number, the turnover is a problem. In these circumstances, simply do not sleep even a year on recruitment efforts and is a disaster. This is what happened in basketball.
All disciplines face similar difficulties in recruiting and retention. We must help the clubs they realize the importance of their club referee. They follow him and they accompany. etc.
The four federations associated with the days of the arbitration compensate their umpires. In their mileage reimbursement expenses (in the range of 0.30 to 0.40 euro per km) and paying them benefits in increasing the level at which they operate. At the bottom of the scale, the soccer referee is not better off. In League of Britain, the compensation ranges for a referee in effect… 16-36 euro per game (13-21 for an assistant). In comparison, fellow rugby are much better off (50 euros whatever level within the league), those basketball and handball navigating between the two (from 20-35 euros). The benefits increase more or less strongly as you climb in the hierarchy. In basketball, a referee of N2 (Level 4) perceives such as 40 euros. Cons 130 in CFA2 (level 5) and 250 CFA (level 4) in football. At the professional level, the differences are downright giddy. In handball D1, each member receives the binomial Referees – plus mileage – 174 euro per game, and a premium of 110 euros when the match takes place on weekdays (Monday to Friday). The colleague rugby is much better off with 270 euros and 420 euros Pro D2 Top 14. End of comparison. Because professional football is a world apart, where the arbitrators, even if they do not yet quite the status, are themselves professionals. Provided you are not hurt too long, they are very well paid. Allowances and bonuses preparation games combined, the central L1 salaries are paid on average 6,000 euros per month.
