You come in far enough to stay out of the running lanes and still get a good look at the runner touching the base and close enough to the base that you are in position to make a call if there is a play.

2. Runners on 2, 3. Line to outfield, where do I cover? Partner says that I need to be covering BR going to 1B, 2B. I thought I was to cover play at 3B.

The PU has the lead runner, you have all others at whichever base.

3. Does anyone else sweep of pitcher's rubber between innings? I never learned that.

If in the area, I will sweep off the pitcher's plate, if needed.

Understand, I am NOT critizing my partner. He has several years of experience and has done many tournaments. Since we don't have clinics, and I only do rec league, my mechanics are probably not very developed.

So, you are a "here's your shirt, here's your schedule, see you in a couple weeks" umpire school graduate.
Strongly suggest you find an ASA clinic in the fall or winter even if you need to travel a little way. If you can find a school, it will be worth it.
Good luck,
