let me get this straight. On the "coverage" thread, you pointed out that my questions about the 2-man showed the problems with the NFHS manual. Now, you agree with OZ that I am "new to the 90'"? It may not mean anything to you, but because I have such respect for your knowledge,that is a very sharp dagger you have.
I've done 3-man before. In fact, I worked the legion varsity districts last summer with two MVC umpires that thought I did an outstanding job. I will be fine Sat. and I know that I will. I was trying to discuss 3-man to reenter the info in the brain. Pardon me for wanting to be prepared.

The best way to be prepared is to look at each baserunner scenario and each batted ball scenario and talk through the possibilities.
Bases Empty: Fly ball to the outfield -- if U1 goes out, the PU takes the BR to first base, watches the touch of the base, takes any throw back in to first base. U3 comes up to second base and has the BR at second and third base. Once the BR reaches second, the PU retreats back to the plate.
If U3 goes out, revert to 2-man with U1 pivoting in and taking the BR all the way to third.
Clean hit -- U1 watches the touch of first from the outside, U3 comes up to second, the PU has the BR going into third and as soon as the BR commits to third, U1 slides down in foul ground to cover the plate.
We can continue this, but I'd rather answer specific questions.
