2 man or 3 man (woman)

I'm not sure about the rest of Missouri, but around here only about 18 schools use three officials. They are all in one of two conferences that use three, and even then some of those schools only use two in non-conference games.

Mostly 2-person in my little corner of Missouri.

I'm hearing reports that the economy has affected the finances of many L.A. area schools so much lately, the use of 3 man crews for for varsity games in that area is longer the norm. And, not only are 2 man crews being used, but game fees have dropped from 75 to 50 per official.

Is that real US currency or Arniescript?

My comments apply to both boys and girls games. 95% of regular season varsity games are two person games. All subvarsity games are two person games. Sometimes we'll use three officials in holiday tournament games, or in games that involve big city powerhouses. Some, but not all, conference tournament finals are three person. State tournament games below the quarterfinals are all two person assignments. Quarterfinals on up are all three person games. Someday we'll figure that it's the 21st century.

Have not done any BV with 2. Have done a few GV with 3. No JV with 3. Pay difference is slightly more for 2. All tournaments and post-season have 3 on the crew.

I'm in the same corner as you.

I said before I wasn't sure about the rest of Missouri, but I do know in St. Louis and Kansas City that most of the larger schools use 3 officials for varsity games. Those officials also only work the varsity games and they have two others that work the JV games if they're the same night. Around here we work both the JV and varsity games, usually with just two officials.
