You're a better man then me if you picked up the switches "after a minute or two".....I was concentrating on my Primary and not trying to let "my eyes wander", I zoned out a couple of times and got caught in no man's land.

Our Association is also trying to get us "less experienced" refs (the one's who traditionally do 2-man) more time with 3-man during our scrimmages. I struggled a bit, but am thankful for the patience of my senior, more experienced partners and especially the really critical, but helpful instruction from our training teams.

While I feel much better about 3-man now than I did a week ago, I still have a ways to go before I'll feel really comfortable. I hope I continue to get the opportunity to learn.....

Well I'm sure I'm not perfect, but it seemed to get easier for me. My partners (3-person veterans) told me I did a good job.

Once I realized that I needed to pay attention to which side the lead was on it seemed to go smoother
