With 3 officials the U and the L should be on the free kick lines and should not go off until they have 11 players on the field. Once they have 11 they go to their sidelines and signal the R, with a had in the air that they are ready for the whistle. The R should be eaiting on the other officials to signal the ready. If you are doing this you can easily communicate that there are only 10 on the field and get another player out there quickly. When we talk anout preventative officiating this is lesson 101.
