What do we know as far as percentages of areas of the country using 3 man in H.S.? From tidbits of info I gather from here and there it seems like they are still fairly small. So most will not be affected, right?
State of WA looks like they may be going to three man at State Tournament time, which some are speculating there will then be pressure to implement this at the playoff levels as well.
Other changes are afoot in this area for suggestions on how to get approval for 3 man during reg. season, much of it involving reduced pay for the first 2-3 years to the officials. Another instance of the officials getting dumped on, IMO. At least there is movement to get us there (3-man mech.)

I know our local Assoc. in Vancouver has been fighting the State the last two seasons to go to 3-person, but they keep telling us no for different reasons...I think we might be able to break that this summer - we have all of our area 4A and 3A coaches and AD's on board, and have $$ issues all figured out (I don't know the details of that for sure) and WIAA office has been more receptive, so we will see...
