It's not just distance, it's angle and screening because of the style of play. Also, I was talking about being over 70 yards apart and clusters of aggressive players in the middle. We all know that presence is control and that alone would have reduced the fouls in the middle. Studies have shown that triple does not result in more fouls called, just accuracy and fewer fouls committed.
Why does everyone trying to sell diagonal leap to worrying about three refs in triple seeing the same "play". It's also called double-dual because it is like two refs in dual covering half the field. Only two are involved in any given "play" and the middle only calls what the other can't see. Those of us who use dual know how to cooperate, share, and adjust for consistency.
But you don't blow a whistle unless you really want that foul called ... . And no one on a line in diagonal could have seen the action in the far side of the goal area.
