Help! First 3 person game.

[davidw]

So, my assignor calls and says a nearby association is having trouble covering all it's games over the next couple of weeks and they have asked us for help. He asks if I'm interested and I say, sure.

Anyways, they are doing 3-person mech. (High School). I have never done 3-person other than a little at a camp a couple of years ago--nothing extensive.

I've been reffing for a considerable time (30+ years) so, it's almost like breathing to me--I usually don't have to fret and worry alot--just trying to get better on all the little things. Now I feel a little trepidation/worry. I figure the game is still the same, I just don't want to be too "out of it", so I'm reading up on the Basic Procedures and Mechanics for Three Officials--and I'm asking for your help on any hints/advice to make this easier for me an, in turn, for my partners.

Also, we will be reffing a varsity girls game followed by a varsity boys game. In my assoc. we do only guys games. Any suggestions in this regard will also be appreciated.


Thanks,
David
