You are an experienced Accountant, but new to a fortune 500 company. You are well-versed in accounting, but not in your new company's standards and are asked to participate in a meeting. Would you feel prepared to speak for the company? You are a Mail carrier on the east side of town and have had your route for 5 years. You come in one morning and are told you need to do a route on the west side of town and your performance should remain the same. You ask what the route is and are told to just go out and deliver the mail. You know how to deliver the mail to houses, but don't know the route. Is that fair to the person waiting at the door for their check to come in the mail? There may be 1,000 stories of throwing someone in the fire for their first three-man game, but that doesn't make it right and should not be the norm. From the information provided, I think personal desires may be trumping our responsibility to provide the best product we can.

OP, is this your first year officiating? Do you have pre-season scrimmages in your area? If so, how many did you participate in this season? Do others in your association attend camps during the off-season?

focus on play calling
Jeremy-
The most important thing is to remained focus on plays, and not distracted by the dance steps. The teams won't care that you're in the 'right' position if you miss a call. Whistle the obvious in your area, and your partners will cover the rest. Have fun and let us know how it goes!

If the OP does a good job, no one is the wiser. If he does bad, everyone will notice. The only upside is for the OP. Is he doing what's best for him or for the game (and players involved)? I would NEVER allow anyone to do a 3-man game in an actual "in season" game without proper training from scrimmages or camps. The negatives far out weigh the positives. |

There were a handful of presason scrimmages and I was not assigned to any. There are no camps in the area and to the best of my knowledge not many in the association attend camps, although I can not say for sure.

This is my first year of officiating after crossing over from the dark side (coaching) . There are a few pre season scrimmages that are help at the schools and are competing in by members of one school vs themselves. They are not allowed to play against any other opponents before the season. I can not say for sure if others attend camps but I would guess not many.

If the assigner is there and gives you the green light, then go for it. It's your officiating career and your association - if they want to help you learn three man this way, and you feel confident enough to try it, why not? I don't think you'll destroy the game.

Right or wrong this is how it is learned in this area. Like I posted earlier I would rather learn in this game then in a few years in a championship game. I hope I don't destroy the game.

Don't think twice about this. As long as you have your assignor's blessing and your partners are on board, go work your butt off, have fun and soak up every single thing you see on the court and hear from your partners. Be sure to ask for feedback from your crew after the game, as well.
