Worked my first championship play 4 & 6 umpire games in 1996 @ Men's A Industrial. Not as difficult as some want to make it, but each umpire must know their partners' responsibility.
If you start with the thought that U2 & U3 share the responsibilities depending upon which goes out, it is mostly designed like 3-umpire mechanics. There is a bit more to it, but that can be a starting point.
