I would like to see the definitive proof that a girl is less likely to get hurt with at third official.

There likely isn't any, but if you have more people seeing things and calling things, it is hard to argue that more is better.

Peace

only if "seeing" and "calling" are also preventative, which they rarely are -- they are punitive.

Doesn't mean, of course, that someone won't claim that the injury could have been prevented, and it will cost time and / or money to refute that claim.

Proof is not always required for change.

It was that way for years. It changed when my local association self-imposed a pay cut across the board to finance a 3rd official for those games.

My point being, though, was there were never any conversations about Title IX being violated.

In my neck of the woods we get...wait for it...$35 for JV and $45 for V. All three man crews, always a JV/V DH and travel is a flat rate regardless of how far you drive. My assoc covers a stretch of interstate 196 miles from point A to Z...and I happen to be in the middle...average drive for me is 60 miles one way and I get a flat rate. The state sets the high-limit that we can charge as an assoc so we don't have say in it. Good thing I don't do this for the money!
