Travel Expenses

Capitol Division will hire local referees whenever possible and attempt to give newly rated referees experience refereeing local tournaments. In the event it is necessary to go beyond a ten (10) mile radius to recruit referees, travel reimbursement is to be based on the following:

The allowable round-trip mileage is calculated based on the distance between the referee’s home and the fencing venue minus 20 miles;

  1. The reimbursement rate per mile is the IRS reimbursement rate;

  2. Reimbursement is rounded to the nearest $5.00;

  3. Reimbursement for expenses is not to exceed $200 per tournament.

No expenses are to be provided for lodging for local events.
