I just knew that FED put the umpire in C. Actually, I kept this year's manual, thinking it may be the last ever. It appears I'll be able to say the same for my 2006 BRD as well.
B, C, it doesn't matter much with R1+R3. Would you actually change the side you stand on based on the rule set? I know I'm in B all the time in this setup.
I've seen umpires go out from the middle in 2-man. Amazing sight watching umpires randomly chase balls all over the outfield. In many areas of the country, the participants see that as "good hustle" instead of "idiotic umpiring."
