3-official crews still news in Wisconsin

[Ref4Tree]

Here in SE Wisconsin at least 3 conferences will be 3 person next season for all boys and girls games. Agreed that some of these game really don't need 3 but you really can't be selective. The past 2 years there have been camps and summer leagues using 3 person but during the season it's hard to work, commissioners won't let you on conference games. I can't wait until we go 3 person for every game, I love it.

I would estimate that after approximately 15% of my games this year, I thought "Boy, it would be nice to have had a third official." While I certainly wouldn't mind going to all three whistle, there isn't much grumbling up north for implementing it.

Keep in mind that Up North is a very relative term. The best description I ever heard was "Up North is anywhere north of where you are!" I live near Appleton, which I used to think was up north until I moved here. I saw a billboard today that claimed that Oconto Falls is where Up North begins.

I think we need to paint a line somewhere.
