Finally, the 3-man flex system is more enjoyable to work, once you get accustomed to it. And it will add years to your career.

I agree it's a better system, and I'm busting my tail to learn it, because I intend to use it with great regularity at some point in the future.

Say what you want but the Trail has to work harder on 2-man than he does in 3-man. The Trail has to close down in many situations that don't occur in 3-man. That means the Trail has to work harder to get back in the 2-man situation. Switches are longer and are required more often.

Also, in 2-man, you're going to be transitioning from T to L 50% of the time in every game. In 3-man, all things being equal, you're only going to find yourself going from T to L around 33% of the time because you're going to be at C roughly one third of the time.

These are the kinds of numbers and details I was looking for in the original post. Today, for the first time, I felt less exhausted than I expected at the end of a 3-person game. I hadn't realized how fatiguing confusion and indecision was. It started to click today, and I really see a difference now, in a way that I didn't before. And it's not that I didn't trust others before, I just didn't understand the logic. You've given some very good points that I hadn't thought about in detail before.
