It's easy to say, "let's just go to three man", and there is no doubt that, in general, you get a better officiated game.
The drawback is in the number of additional officials we would have to have to accomplish this at all levels. In our association, we are short as it is. Recruitment is down and there is no way we could do all games with three officials.
In fact, when we do some rec leagues, at lower grades we routinely do one-man mechanics.
I should mention that I live in a major metropolitan area.
