BOBBYMO, thanks for mentioning that some of our counterparts in the western part are using 3-whistle crews. That surprises me that the Metro or Lincoln still haven't made the full switch. But what really gets me is that the state tournament is still 2-whistle all the way. It should be a 3-whistle thing.

Also, South Dakota is a little screwy if I'm right. I was in Sioux Falls this past weekend working a regional adult tournament, and had the opportunity to tune into the girls state finals on the tube. The guys I worked with in the tournament mentioned that the AA girls tournament was using 3-whistle. I assumed they were all using it, till I watched the A final, which was 2-whistle. I'm planning to check the South Dakota state association's website later to see if I didn't misunderstand my fellow zebras or if that is in fact how they run things up there.
