The question about switching back and forth between 2-man and 3-man mechanics got me thinking about what states use mainly 2-man vs 3-man? For instance, I know Illinois is mainly 3 whistle for all varsity games. Missouri is mostly 2 whistle except for I believe Class 3,4 and 5 are using 3 whistle in the post season.

What does everyone else use?

MA is 2-whistle all the way through the season, including the state finals.

Wyoming is 2 whistle, and until this year, 3 whistle games were absolutely forbidden. This year our state association is allowing some limited use of 3 whistles during some holiday tournaments.

Kansas, In my area, we have been 3 person for about 8-10 years.

I Virginia I believe its 3 man only on the AAA Varsity level and tournaments/playoffs.

ND uses both for varsity. Depends upon the individual schools and leagues what they want to pay for. Smaller schools rarely use 3.

Texas.

Dropped three man for majority of districts this year. Money.

Some of the private schools continue to request and pay for 3 man.

Nebraska is 2 Whistle. A couple of Conference tourneys are experimenting with 3 this season.

Wisconsin is two whistle including the playoffs although there is some indications of going to three for the playoffs in the distant future.

Depends on what chapter your in Texas because most of the schools down here are paying for 3-Man. HISD still has 3 man for Boys and Girls Varsity while some of the more financially blessed school districts and schools dont want to pay for it. Ironically enough those are the school districts that do not use the chapter to assign middle school ball games. Some private schools pay for 3, some for 2. Depends on the school and how big of a game it is.

In Illinois.
 

3 Person for all playoff games.

3 Person in most conferences. Some do go 2 Person, but that is usually becoming uncommon.

Peace

In Ohio
 

the majority of boys varsity is now three-whistle. Most of the girls varsity is still two-whistle, but a few of the big-school leagues have now instituted three-whistles for girls varsity. All sub-varsity games are two-whistle.

in New Hampshire 2 person mostly--in state semi and finals three person

in WV

3 varsity/ most jv (depends if school can afford it (i think)

Rob: In northern VA, we use 3-whistle on all varsity games (AA & AAA). We don't do single A - think that is done by Bull Run or Quantico. We do some private schools, also 3-whistle,
