2 man or 3 man (woman)
 
We usually discuss this every season, I was wondering how many still use crew of 2 officials for varsity competition. In my area of Pennsylvania all varsity contests are 3 man (women) crews. We are actually not permitted to start a game is less than 3. (we must use a JV official)

Most of WI is still 2 person.

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.

CO is pretty much universally 3; with some small private schools providing the exceptions to prove the rule.

In New Hampshire we still use 2 man until playoffs...at least that is for the majority of the state.

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.

All 2 person for all levels here in my area of sunny SoCal, the exception being some holiday tournaments and quarter-finals and beyond for the playoffs

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.
