So it's not a state mandated thing. Some conferences are deciding to make that move?

Yes, I'm trying to find out if any other associations faced & overcame this. If so, how did they go about it?

Once a contract is signed it would seem pretty hard to fight it. So I would the think battle needs to be fought in the contract negotiations between the conference and association.

But then, if there are other organizations in the area who would agree to those terms then the battle would be futile.

There it is! The assignors needed to fight this when the ADs presented it.

Although we will all complain, I doubt that we as a group, would decline those type of assignments.
So I guess my only 2 options are to tell the assignors, "if it aint 3, don't pick me!" Or simply decline 2 person games as they are assigned.

The main ones that cry about consistency want to run 2s in the regular season & 3s in the post-season

Some background, tref. Are you saying all games (regular season, tourney) in your area are 3-man? Does this go for all levels?

For the most part all 5A & 4A Varsity games were 3 person last season. The only lower level 3 person games were part of JV/V doubleheaders at small schools.

An hour south, all V games (with one exception that I know of at a small charter school) are 3. 4 and 5A JV are 3 also.
