But, still, it is not at all unusual to go pretty much all summer with only a hand full of 2 man games under your belt.

thats crazy.

Most rec leagues (except slow pitch of course) around here use 2 man even in 10U and _all_ tourneys use 2 man and sometimes 3 for champ games. We are also planning a 3 man tourney for all national umpires to work 3 man the whole tourney to get ready. Fees will be reduced as its split 3 ways, but good practice. VAR is 2 man, JV 1 man.
