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."

I wouldn't change for rule set. We use CCA for everything. I just mentioned the pro mechanics becuase I knew the poster was working PONY.
I've seen a lot of idiotic umpiring being sold as either "hustle" or "preventive umpiring." Funny thing is that some of what was described as preventive umpiring resulted in ejections. (NB:This is not to deny that there really is a time and place for real preventive umpiring.)
I don't know what happend to the 2007 BRD. Supply and demand issue? If Carl worked for the same editor I have, and didn't submit the 2007 edition, he'd have never heard the end of it.
