We do not have 3 person crews mandated except for sectional semi and championship games. We do have a some senior officials hoping for 3 person crews so they will not have to give up their varsity status because they are no longer able to keep up in the 2 person game. This actually hurst the younger guys who have to go to other areas to work varsity level games.
As for the comment of not having 2 good officials work with a 3rd who should be at the jv level how do you expect new guys to learn and improve at 3 man if they never get to work it? I may only be guessing but just because states and districts use 3 man at the varsity level does not mean they are using it at the JV level so the training for 3 man may have to ba at the varsity level. Just my opinion
