For the past 2 years in northern VA, we have used 3-whistle on all varsity games. We also have several rec leagues that use 3-whistle. We have 1 assignor for scholastic and 1 for rec. HS varsity officials work boys and girls (just depends on what is assigned) and most nights we have a F/JV/V triple-header. It's rare that we have a BV/GV double-header. I prefer 3-whistle games and some nights I might do a freshman game at one school and then a varsity game at another school (we have about 75 HS in this area), and other nights I might have a F/JV schedule.
It took a while to convince some of the districts/regions to go to 3-whistle, but it seems to be working fine. We have at least one 3-whistle clinic each year and you can't work a playoff game above the district level unless you have attended the clinic.
