Our HS association teaches us this coverage when working in 3-man system (runner on first): The plate umpire moves up the 3B line in foul territory and if the runner continues (if a play develops at 3B) he should cut inside to watch the play. The 1B umpire covers home and 3B umpire remains at 2B.
With a runner at 2nd base the plate umpire stays home
Is this what you other FED umpires do (3-man mechanics only)?
