"Wisconsin Refs" - 3 Person Question

To me, it's an odd thing. I want to work 3 100% of the time, but I want a full game check for a full game's work.

In a 40-game season (a few left), I worked about 15 3-person games and was paid a full check for all but 2 (I'll work 3-for-2 with certain people once in a while and over the holidays or early in the season).

I won't play "mother-may-I" with coaches/ADs, either -- when I find out they want all kind of approval to do it, then they'll just get the 2 officials they were contracted.
