I for one was very impressed this past week with the number of 7 man games that came thru the picks at the Houston Chapter. Right at half of the games will be called with a 7 man crew pHiNzuP Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Ft Worth had 0. Do hope the trend picks up........ pi1eOn

SA was not allowed to have 7 man on Friday nights, but the coaches have the option on Thursday and Saturday night games. My crew received 4 of those. We just don't have the numbers to do 7 man on Fridays nights full-time yet.

Dallas also had 0. I wonder if we put more focus on presenting it as an option to the coaches that it could possibly gain some traction. I commend Houston for taking the step as well as getting coaches buy in. tiphat:

Just send 7 until they say no. We are a small chapter and we dont have the numbers to use 7 during the regular season, but playoff games , depending on the caliber of the two teams, we have just sent 7 without even asking the coaches.

Are these strictly 7 Man Crews? Do the crews only work 7 Man assignments? Was there a list presented to the Coaches of 7 Man and 5 Man crews? Was it "all" or none? Meaning Coach Smith really wants JimBob's crew, JimBob's crew is listed as a 7 man crew. Coach Smith only wants a 5 Man crew, not interested in having a 7 man crew. What happens?

All Houston crews are 7 man this season. At the coaches selection day they were told that the default on a game was a 7 man crew. If they wanted to use a 5 man crew they had to specify this when selecting the crew for that particular game.
The crews are expected to use their deep wings as the 1st choices for replacements if one of the other 5 is unable to work the game. The crews will also try to get the 2 deep wings involved if possible as clock operators or chain personnel for their game.
At the 6a and 5a levels the coaches bought into 7 man better than could be expected, except for the 2 largest districts that Houston serves.

The coaches are not going to call for 7, but will accept them (like Jason said) if we initiate it. What Houston did was smart.
