Outside of the Chicago area. There is a whole new world if you leave that area.

It is not every school or even most, but many schools/conferences/associations use 3 Person for lower level games so that they can train official to the system and get their players and coaches that use 3 Person.

Here, on the southeast side of Washington State...we do 3 whistle for ALL Boys H.S. games...to include Freshman games.

Not sure what the Girls side does...I am only a member of our local Boys Association.

Girls side is the same, unless there are not enough officials to cover then it's 2-person crews for subvarsity.

It would be interesting if the schools are able to use two for girls without dealing with Title IX complaints.

It'd be nice if we could find a way to start using three whistle in JV as a training ground but I don't see schools ponying up the extra fee. Besides, the way the UIL constitution is currently written, I don't think we could negotiate a slightly lower fee per official to add a third.

Since we've gone 3 person, I've seen a 2-person sub-varsity Girls' game only once or twice.

True...

not sure if the girls' officials feel they need 3 whistle for ALL the levels.

(I know I sure like 3 whislte, for ALL levels, on the boys side!)

For the Girls' side the extra pair of eyes can be used for fashion police duties J/K

That would make sense. Scheduling issues would probably be allowable, as long as the school is attempting to get three.

But I'm no attorney.

Here we have to work both, and I can tell you the need is far more consistent with the boys.

...after there's a John McSherry type of incident. Maybe.

I'm surprised that the existence of distinct associations for boys and girls doesn't prompt Title IX issues.

I've said the same many times. I have never felt I *needed* three on a girls game here. I've rarely felt that 2 was sufficient on the boys side.

Title IX or political correctness?

[Adam]

Probably both.

Agree totally.
