2 or 3 man crews

Which states use 2 and 3 man crews on their games in season? My state does all games in the post season 3-man but does not make schools do any during the regular season? Does this sound right?

Does it sound right? What does that mean? It certainly sounds as if that's what your state does, since you said so.

FWIW, my state does all 3-man, even sub-varsity unless we're running low on local officials for MS games...

Iowa does 3-person for all Varsity in the two largest classes. 3-person is used if the school wants to at the lower classes as well. Subvarsity games are done with two-person crews.

We use 3-man for varsity and 2-man for sub-varsity.

In the Cleveland, Ohio area, all Varsity games both Boys and Girls are 3-man.

There is talk that boys JV games will be going to three person.

Fees are $55-70 per game per official for Varsity.

CO is pretty much all 3-whistle for varsity. CO Springs also does 3 for most JV. Freshman ball is 2. Pay is only slightly less (about $6 per official) for 3 than for 2.

In KS all six classes of tournament are 3 person games.

In larger areas and larger classes, we use 3 person for GV and BV contests. All lower level games are 2 person mechanics.

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.

3-person crews

Our Georgia group attempts to assign 3-person for all levels (middle school through high school varsity). On our busiest dates, we may be forced to assign 2-person for some sub-varsity games (lack of available officials). Our officials understand that their 3-person pay for sub-varsity games will be 2-person crew pay divided by 3 officials. We have found that the training of officials is more efficient by starting people off with 3-person mechanics.

All varsity games in Georgia are 3-person.

All Varsity and sub-Varsity HS boys 3-Whistle 1 game @ $48 plus travel per night (Unless we do a Frosh game prior to the Varsity game...$28 extra)


Middle School 2-Whistle. 2 games @ $40 per = $80

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

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.

Far SouthEAST corner of Kansas, there is occasionally 2 whistle V here, it's school option in two conferences. Only one school that I know of opts for two person crews. All sub-V is 2.

Illinois uses 3 Person for all post season games Boy's and Girl's basketball.

I have heard rumors of some places using 2 Person still, but it is not very common. Every league or tournament I have worked is 3 Person for all varsity games.

There are even places that go 3 Person for lower level games. This is not common, but it has taken place.

Peace

General rule in Texas is 3-person for 3A, 4A, and 5A games (three largest classes which make up most cities), 2-person for smaller schools and almost all sub-varsity.
