Is that why you're in it, for the money?
I want the big game. I want the highest level of play. I want the best players. I want the best atmosphere. I want the intensity.
If you don't, you can probably work JV games, close to home, the rest of your career. Just tell your assignor.
Now, I'm not trying to be ugly or cynical but that's what you're sounding like. If your association is truly interested in addressing the situation, then have the assignor tell the schools what the game fee will be for 3 man. Don't let them tell you. "If you want 3 man, it's $XX per official. Otherwise, we send 2 officials."
However, you should expect some pay decrease for 3 man versus 2. If 2 get $60 each, then it's not unfair to expect $50 each for 3 man.
