Kingsman: Your tag line verifies the use of 2-man in SoCal. Not always true in 3-man.

In my part of Indiana all V games are 3-man. I still hear some rumors about smaller rural teams using 2-man but I haven't seen it for a couple of years.

All JV games are still 2-man. Which makes the transition period between JV and V pretty awkward.

I did two-man BJV last night between two big schools and find it easier doing three-man V. Two-man between good F or JV teams can be tough IMO.

From what I understand, many districts around here use three whistle but there are also some that use two. Same with some private schools.

I've heard this before. What is the meaning behind that phrase?

It's just another way of saying to be outside the player on the endline. When he turns to you to take the ball, his a$$ is facing the glass.

In Wisconsin only 2 required until postseason. Sometimes a crew of two will bring a third official. They need to get some 3 man in before playoffs. They just split the two checks between the three of them.

In VT, the state has 3 in all playoff games. So, they require schools based on enrollment to have 3 on the crew for a certain number of games. Some schools may elect to have more than the minimum. It is pretty foolhardy to not have a requirement like this and to then expect officials to convert to a new system in the playoffs IMO. Here in FL, I believe there is a minimum for each school. I am not going to try to figger it out, though.
