3 Man Officiating!

[WAZebra]

Hey,

I am curious as to how many states use three man mechanics?
If your state recently converted to 3 man how did it go converting over to it? Did your state cut the pay per game?

Our state is implementing 3 man mechanics at the state tournament level this year which means that we are now going to it during the regular season. I am excited about it but also have many reservations about how it is to be implemented. The pay per game for 2 man is now approximately $45 per game and will be $33 per game for 3 man. Some districts are also assumming that because of 3 man mechanics, a 3 man crew can now work the JV and Varsity game, back to back. Any thoughts, ideas, experiences, commnents, ideas?
