Mick, is there still state post season play that doesn't work three man?

Yeah, Bart,
Sad, but true.
Every school team plays in the State Tourney.
Districts - 2-man
Regionals - 2-man
Quarterfinals - 3-man
Semifinals - 3-man
Finals - 3-man
A couple years ago, we had a vet, who was going to the Quarterfinals, work with us in a couple of Jr High games about two days before he left for the quaterfinals.
Some Lower Michigan areas use 3-man for regular season games, and then "step down" to two-man games for the Districts and regionals.
A.D.s in our area wonder about more fouls? Less fouls? Longer games? We do it every chance we get, maybe that is why my long term partner and I have been broken up. But, hey, we always ask before we schedule a third.
And, as I mentioned before, the A.D.s do the assigning, and their Coaches do the rating of officials.
I was told at a trainer's meeting that Kentucky "Never" goes three-man, by a high ranking assignor in the state.
That knocked my socks off! Wouldn't that be like Indiana and North Carolina using only two-man?
