The few three person games we have here in Connecticut are almost all in the two richest local boards (near New York City), getting: varsity fee: $100.07; sub varsity fee: $64.93; same fees as two person games for the entire state. The other four local boards (in poorer parts of the state, both urban and rural), with few, or no, three person games, would consider reducing fees to encourage the use of more three person crews, but the rich guys down in the southwest corner (not my little corner) will not even consider that suggestion (would you) and fees are set statewide, not by local boards.

That's one reason (but not the only reason) why there are so few three person games in Connecticut, our urban and rural school systems can't afford three multiplied by $100.07 (or $64.93), and the rich guys in the New York City suburbs don't want their fees reduced for three person crews.
