Rog there's the umpires manual and then there's reality. In HS I rarely work with the same individual more than once. Each umpire (especially the Vets) have their own style.
To me the most important thing is Communication on the Field and a strong Pre-Game in the parking lot or over the phone (if one is running late).
Any manual is a reference tool in which to build on. The important issue is to know what your partner is doing on each play and also communicate on the field.
Personally I like following the guidelines outlined in the manual but if my partner preferes something different it's no big deal as long as I know in advance.
