I just took a quick look at the 2017 manual...two umpire system, in either game, there is no option for the base umpire with no runners on base.
FP starts on the line, SP starts behind F4.
I don't know if there was discussion about presenting an option at the council meeting, but I can check with some of my sources to see what I can find out.
There has been talk for the last few years about moving the SP base umpire back to the line with no runners on, but it has not been implemented. I also remember about 10 - 15 years ago, a former NUS member was advocating giving the FP base umpire the option to start behind F4 with no runners, but was never able to get much support.
