Not much, if anything, that I'm aware of. We use it and it works fine. The only thing I don't really care for in the manual is kickoff coverage. And I like setting up deeper as umpire than the manual's recommended 5-7 yards.

I also hate the triangle in three man but 3-man isn't even in the book anymore and we almost never work it so that's a moot point.

And our mechanics allows for officials in 3-person to have two wings and a Umpire/Referee positions in either part of the backfield of the offensive or defensive team.

Kickoff coverage -- I hear you.

I won't work 3 ever, so the question is moot.

I worked 3 man on Saturday morning double headers about 20 years ago for 4th/5th graders. On rare occasions we went out with a Line Ref and an Ump Judge.

I do not miss those days.
