The difference between 3-man and rollerball is that rollerball helps you develop actual usable skills that are important during competitive matches (picking up balls, using your peripheral vision, quick shots, control). This is especially true once you have developed some control yourself. I can understand how it would be painful for some tier 3 players though. One of the reasons we have rollerball is because when we don't, it never gets played in Ottawa, and a lot of people end up developing only slow methodical games, and then they are unable to keep pace with fast, skilled players from out of town.
3-man, on the other hand, is useless for teaching you anything. It's not even that fun. 4-man was more fun. Everyone had 1 rod. But having 2 players handle a rod each against a player that is handling 2 rods is silly.
Anyway I'm not in the league, but I wanted to give my opinion because this is an overlooked point. (Well maybe not that overlooked. I see Dan just made the same point at the same time).

My belief is that I get to make fun of your beliefs. Please respect my belief.
