And the,

Seven Differences between CCA and FED Mechanics with a two man crew:

1- Bases Empty

Outfield coverage:

a) NFHS -- UIC has left field and centerfield turning away from field.

b) CCA -- UIC only has left field: U1 has center and right fields.

Infield coverage:

c) NFHS -- UIC has all fly balls to the left side of the infield.

d) CCA -- UIC has third base, shortstop going left, back or in: second baseman left or in: first baseman left and in and pitcher left. U1 has shortstop right: second baseman right and back and first baseman right and back.

Clean hit to the outfield, extra bases:

e) NFHS -- U1 has batter/runner to second: UIC has runner at third.

f) CCA -- U1 has batter/runner to third.

2- Runner at first:

Plays within the Infield:

g) NFHS -- UIC has plays at third base on the second play within the infield.

h) CCA -- U1 has second play at third.

3- Runners at first and second:

Plays within the infield:

i) NFHS -- UIC has call at third if first play is at first or second

j) CCA -- U1 has second p[lay at third/

4- Runner at second:

Fly balls:

k) NFHS -- On fly balls to left or center, UIC moves to third for any subsequent play at third and U1 moves to take any subsquent play at home.

l) CCA -- U1 lines up catch and tag-up of runner and has play at third: UIC stays home.

5- Runners at second and third:

Clean Base Hit:

m) NFHS -- UIC moves up the third baseline, watches R1 touch home (over the shoulder glance) then get into position to move to third base for the call or return to home.

n) CCA -- UIC has all plays at home: U1 has all plays on the bases.

* Thom Coste has pointed out to me that with R1 and R3 that CCA has U1 starting in "B" and NFHS has him starting in "C".

=====================================

UIC = Plate Umpire
U1 = Base Umpire.

=====================================

Ooops, edited because of omission pointed out by Mr. Jenkins.

Thom, I used the CCA terminology rather than shift back and forth. And thanks for the "crew man crew" . . . and I have also used the CCA reference numbers for base runners rather than the ones used by NFHS.

LMAO.

My Bad.
