I have a bit of a different perspective probably because I have had the opportunity to learn 3 person very early in my career and have the fortune of doing almost all of my scholastic ball in 3 person now, I don't see it as that big of an adjustment as long as you have a working knowledge of 3 person positioning, and PCAs.
I do understand that it is a significant adjustment if you havent done much or any since the season began but I think some people focus a little too much on the 3 person aspect and forget about some of the other important things to keep in mind as you enter the post-season. I would add a few reminders to some of the good advice you've received on 3 person:
Dig back into the rules book. Just before post-season is a good time to scrub through the rules to make sure you have a solid understanding of any issues that came up during the season and are less likely to kick anything in games that have higher stakes.
Sharpen your mechanics. Over the course of the season it can be easy to get a little sloppy with our mechanics. I would get back in the mirror and work on a few things to make sure you look sharp and confident.
Know the history of the teams. At this point, you or someone on the crew has likely had one of the teams before. If you are familiar with the style of play, the tendencies of a few of the key players, etc. it can only help. Also a good idea to know how the reg. season games between the teams went.
Increase focus and concentration but remember to relax and have fun.
And congratulations. You must be doing something right.
