Surely it's not based on the gate. I routinely work 1A and 2A schools that have a larger attendance than the bigger 4A schools. Many small communities provde better support for their teams.
With the exception of one conference, all of our JV games use 3 man. That's been the case for alonst 10 years.
The conference where we work 2 man plays JVG, JVB, VG, and VB all at the same site beginning at 4pm. The JV games have a running clock, except for the last two mintues of each half. That was the compromise we negotiated to go to 2 man; shorter games and a shorter night for everyone. |
Let me expand: Largest schools [with biggest gates] are expected to have 3 crews for 4 GV & 4 BV home games. Next biggest, 3 of each, and so forth. Largest schools also have larger budgets AND there are not many private schools in VT, which here in FL seem to be in the lowest 3 of 6 classifications. [I presume that there may be more private schools in NC that populate some of the smaller classifications, hence some larger gates.]
Also, in VT, coach buses are used by many larger schools and the large schools tend to not have to travel as far for many of their games.
