CANADIAN MECHANIC:
For 3-man, we use R, U, and HL. HL handles the sticks, naturally. The R and U are on the LJ side of the field - and make a large triangle wit the HL. If the spot is on the LJ hash mark, the R lines up a bit wider, as the R also has the open sideline, leaving the U to go back to the goal line.
A neat trick is to rotate the U and HL to LJ and U, respectively, so that you always have a wing on the short side of the field. In this mechanic, the R is also always wide to cover the open sideline.
If you've got 2 varsity officials, I'm sure that you will be fine - as they may operate on auto-pilot for some of the game - allowing them to help you out.
