1) A basic premise is that the runner at 3rd is more important than the BR at 1st.
2) Most of us have had the call at 1st from the C position for years, primarily because of #1.
3) The D postion is never used in 2 umpire systems.
4) The so-called C3 position with the BU closer to 3rd than to the SS is an over-reaction to #1 and to me is useless.
5) After 5 pickoff attempts at 3rd in one inning this afternoon, don't expect me to support the B postion with a runner on 3rd or 2nd or it rarity. That catcher made 17 pickoff attempts in the game (all bases) and got two outs, both at 1st.
