It's just one possibility.

how do younger officials get trained then?

As I said, JV officials work 3 man. There are plenty of veteran officials who work JV games.

How many officials would pace themselves knowing there's a varsity game right behind?

I don't think much of that happens. When you take the floor, you either love what you do or you don't. If you do, you'll work hard.

Varsity girls start at 6pm, followed by boys.

But I would be willing to work for $40 a game for 2-3 years with the pay sliding up back to what we make now. Don't know how many officials would go for that.

Sounds like that's basically what you're doing now, if you're working three man for two checks.

Nobody has ever asked us or tried this out, I don't think. Without the state stepping up and making it (forcing it to) happen, it's going to remain a patchwork. Some conferences will go 3 and some won't.

Somebody will have to take the lead and push for it, whether it's officials, schools or the state.

My guess is that girls coaches wouldn't go for this. I wouldn't even suggest it. To suggest that girls ball is somehow less than boys will get you in all sorts of hot water.

The puzzler to me is why WI schools want to take the time to find refs for underclass games. It's my first area where that's the case. Making those games easier to assign could be part of the mix.

You lost me there. Not sure what you're saying.
