I know of no Class 5 or 6 school that uses 2 person anywhere in state. I know in western KS, the small schools still use 2 person crews for BV and GV games.

No matter the size, all KC, Topeka and Wichita schools use 3 person crews.

Damn there's a lot of Kansans on this board.:p

I'm in extreme SW Kansas (an hour south of Dodge City) and have never seen a two-whistle varsity game, so it must be up in the NW around Goodland and whatnot.

I work in Northwest PA, We use a 3-whistle crew on all varsity contest both girls and boys. For sub-varsity we use a 2 whistle crew. I believe this is the same throughout the whole state and not just my area. Also our pay scale in my area is 63 for varsity, 45 (I think for JV) 40 for single game (7-9), 69 for Jr High double header 2 games. 100 for Triple Header. Fees will vary throughout the state.

In PIAA's D-9, varsity contests are split about 50-50 between 2-man and 3-man. One league is trying to push the issue by requiring 3 for league contests; others are dragging their feet or dipping their toes in the water by hand-picking certain "rivalry" games for which to use 3 officials. All sub-varsity is, as PIAA REF said, 2-whistle in this area.

Varsity here - $60-70; JV - $40-50; Jr. High games $40.
