Here's a good reason to not have 3-person crews - the State won't let us!!! The State Association - the WIAA here in good ole Washington - put together a plan for having districts phase in 3-person crews over a 3 year time period...none (let me repeat that, NONE) of the districts went for it...our local assoc. has worked hard over the last two seasons to get our 4A schools to agree to use 3-person crews, and had a plan all set to implement this season (won't bore you with the details of the plan, but AD's, coaches, and officials all agreed to it)...but the State has stepped in and said "No" because the three year phase-in period has passed and if we want to do it now, the schools have to pay full rate for all three officials, and use different crews for JV/Varsity games...needless to say, the schools have backed out...so our reason for not having 3-person is the State said we couldn't...go figure.
