How Can I Get My Area To Give The Three Person Rotation A Honest Try?

[JAdams]

almost all boys varsity contests use three whistles. Some of the small school conferences still use two's, but most are now three's. In addition, there are strong rumors running around the Dayton/Cincinnati area that some of the big school conferences are going to adopt three whistles for varsity girls games... gender equality and all that.

To the best of my knowledge, none of these conferences has actually cut the per-game fees of us officials when they've upgraded to three whistles. Maybe they've delayed an increase, but not actually cut the pay from the level of the year before.

On a side note, I attended the state final in Indiana last March for the smallest of their four divisions, and they still used two whistles... for a state championship game!
