Worked State American Legion tournament last summer with some very good umpires from another area of the state. They were continually giving signals about their coverage for the upcoming play. PU would signal whether he would be going to third or staying home. BU would confirm by signaling his coverage responsibilities.
Seemed to help keep each other in the game and prevented double coverage.
Of course signals were reiterated vocally once play was happening... "I've got third, if he comes."
