Generally you'll have 3 problems:

1. School budgets, which might mean you'll have to agree to take less per whistle for the 3 man games.

2. Coaches. Although generally coaches are willing to go to 3 man some coaches are dead set against 3 whistle - they believe the extra man results in more interuptions. This is especially true if a coach teaches a more physical game. Depending on the amount of power coaches have in your area this might be a problem. Try & build a base of coaches who want the 3 whistle game.

3. Refs. Sadly some guys will not want to go to 3 man, because they're getting less money per game or they are unwilling to learn the new system or whatever. Build a base of officials in your association who are willing to go to 3 man and give the "dinosaurs" a way to accept only 2 man games without being penalized by the association or assignor. They will come around eventually, or they will get out.

Good luck.
