First time 3-man tonight

I can't think of a better way to get JV officials ready for varsity. Here, we occasionally work JV with three and split the two checks three ways. I don't think all the refs would be happy doing it, but I personally jump at the chance to work all the 3 I can.

We started doing this with younger officials. We tried to put 2 experienced guys with a younger official at a 3 person camp and then continue the way you do during the season. Not all the guys are willing to split their checks but when schools want the 3 person crew - the guys unwilling to help out and split checks are finding they get less of those games. The people assigning are hiring the guys they see doing 3 person on a regular basis.
