Firstly remember one thing, I'm in Canada, it's the Canadian Mechanic.
That's why when the ball's being scrimmaged from the 2 and in, we bring up the back ump (FJ) to act as a second umpire, we both take a position on each side of the D-Line, and watch whatever is goes on on the line.
It's an effective mechanic. There's a lot the sideguys aren't going to be able to see because of the wider field up here.
