Why do you rpovide three officials for boys? Because it's a better officiated game. Your situation is a Title IX action waiting to happen.

Don't ask me, I'm not a lawyer nor have I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express lately. All I know is the various games fees for the different conferences and private schools are always the same for Boys as they are for Girls. Whether it be $60 for AA, $70 for AAA, $55 for one school, or $60 for another. But, with one exception, the only 3-man we do during the regular season is AAA Boys. The exception is a Single-A school where we do 3-man V/JV doubleheaders for both Girls and Boys.
Know what's really dumb. In the post season tournaments AA does 3-man all the way through for Girls & Boys. But the AAA tournament, the Girls 1st-round gets 2-man but then the Semi-finals & Finals get 3-man.
