This is what I have on pdf. file from Baseball Canada. I believe this models the PBUC mechanic.
Runner in scoring position; steal of third.
Base Umpire……should make sure the runner is going by shoulder-checking over his right shoulder. If the runner goes, read the catcher’s throw, move to the play, get a 90 degree angle to the slide, get set and make the call. Do not get too close or cheat on this play or you will be out of position. React to the appropriate.
base.
