We have a regular crew, just like we do in football. The three of us work together a majority of the time. I am the crew chief, so I'm always listed on Arbiter as the R. When our crew works, we rotate the R position each night. I'm comfortable doing that because we have a veteran crew and I know we're on the same page.
When one of my two partners closes out, and we have a fill-in, I work the R. I don't want someone I'm not as familiar with making a decision as the referee that could get us in hot water. If I'm the one the assignor is going to call the next morning, then I'm calling the shots.
