I am in western PA and in our area we use 6 man crews almost all the time for varsity games. There are schools that will pay a certain dollar amount for a varsity game. If you bring six officials you will receive less money per official than if you bring five officials. We will tell the school at the begining of the season if we are bringing five or six, so that they may do the contracts accordingly. We feel it allows the younger officials to learn and also keeps them interested. It also gives you a much better officiated game away from the point of attack. The back side of the play has better control with six officials.
