Will your local associations step up to provide the necessary training in 3-person mechanics so that you don't end up with nothing more than three voracious ballwatchers on each crew?
Some veterans in some areas have been doing 3-person since the switch years ago, but due either to a lack of training or because of their resistance to plug into the training offered, they're still totally clueless regarding PCA's, coverages, secondaries, etc. There's still, as made fun of below, six eyes on the ball at all times.
It's the bane of all officiating, in my opinion. Which is correct.
I wish you and your local associations the best in this regard.
Any resources needed, PM me. We've got quite a collection from all over.

So let me get this straight. The state controlled how many officials had on regular season games?

Peace

Why wouldn't they? They regulate scholastic events. It is their charter to specify/approve all parts of how the games are run.

As I understand things, the OSAA has "certified" several camps as official training camps for the new 3person mechanics. I know the camp at Oregon State has been certified in such a manner. So the State is making steps to train officials. Whether the officials take advantage of those training opportunities remains to be seen.

That is correct. Both camps I help at will be covering 3-person. Most of the officials running one of them actually have substantial 3-person experience.

I'm sure there will be several who do not make use of them. Hopefully, there will be some minimum requirement before we start putting people out there. I'm also hoping, that, initially, the assignor when assigning 3, will put a crew out there with a strong 3-person crew chief, a 2nd with some experience, and a 3rd that may be a rookie. No need to have 3 vererans on one game and 3 rookies on another.

Cam,

Glad to see this finally went through - it remains to be seen how many leagues will actually adopt it.......could be a big mess for the commissioners until it all settles out though....

I thought Jack's email said the rate was 85%.....it also said that OAOA would be developing training in accordance with NFHS 3 man mechanics.

Yes, the rate is 85% of the 2 person rate. The OAOA works with the camps to have the appropriate training as is required for post season eligibility. They will probably also incorporate it into their other clinics.
