NOt any more than the umpire in the same position with a two-umpire crew.
EMD -- the positioning of BU (2-umpire) and U3 (3-umpire) is the same with R2 -- "regular" C, not Deep C. Deep C, or Deep B is used with R1 only.
Jerry -- The CCA does not suggest changing positions based on the number of outs. Some books do suggest this, however. Also, I'm curious as to which published book recommends going to the umpire on the line for a check swing. I don't recall reading this (although I've heard of it).
