I don't agree with that line of thinking.

I dont think Ive made myself clear...lets say you picked 4 of your best guys who can do the championship game, but none of them have ever done 4 man.....my thought is to scrap doing 4 man and then assess if they can do three man.....if 3 of the 4 guys are well versed in 3 man then assign the 3 best to the game doing the 3 man system.....

if none of your 4 best guys are well versed in systems over 2 man, then choose the best 2 guys and do 2man.....

For championship games.... I want the best guys working the system that gives them the highest chances for a sucessful game....

And I completely agree. I was agreeing with you by giving the thought process of many organizations.

Best method.... attend a three man clinic, maybe even bring an umpire or 20 with you.
