2 or 3-Person

[David M]

In Massachusetts I know of only one league, which consists of all boys schools, using three. Everything else is two during the regular season. The state tourney is three for all games.

[Ref in PA]

In Western PA it is 3 person for league play and tournament play for boys and girls varsity. Most exhibition games are 3 person crews with only a couple of schools opting for a 2 person crew. Sub varsity is usually 2 person but a couple of the schools are going to 3 person at the junior varsity level for rivalry games.

Montana area is mostly 3-person for varsity and 2-person for sub-varsity

Now there are still some conferences that use 2 Person, but those are very rare.

The state of things in Missouri are evolving in similar fashion to our friends from Illinois.

Officially it is up to the conference/individual school for regular season play.

A few years ago, Missouri went to 3-man crews in our larger classes (4,5), and as a result most of the large conferences (at least in the St Louis area) have followed suite, some faster than others.

This year the state is introducing 3-man crews in the smaller classes (1,2,3) during the playoffs. I would assume that the smaller conferences would follow suite over time, albeit probably slower than the larger ones.

Heck some of the smaller schools that I know of in the NE corner would hire 1-man crews if they could get a way with it.

Connecticut is generally 2-person for the regular season (with occasional use of 3-person crews). At some point in the state tournament, 3-person crews are used.

Missouri, it depends on your AD. Class 3 or higher uses 3 for their varsity. If you have a tournament in the lower levels, the championship game is usually a 3 man. Overall, it depends on your AD because I've done a 3 man for a junior high game once when it wasn't a tournament, and a 2 man for a varsity!

In Idaho, it's all 2-man.
