Which, in this case, means exactly nothing. There are a very few duties that are assigned soley to the R. Other than that, he's just one of the team. Period. His opinions and calls carry no more weight than the U, U1, U2 or U99. Once that ball goes up, you are equals.

Perhaps a better way of looking at it is that there are no lesser partners. As the U you are fully expected to step up and run the game alongside your partner(s). To do anything less is to shirk your duty and put an extra burden on your partner(s). Don't ever let the fact that you're the U persuade you to take a junior role.
