We have U1, U3 and PU, for the purposes of this play. Pre pitch alignment with a R2 is, U1 is in B and U3 is in D. The catch/no catch is divided with U3 taking the LF moving in, back or toward the LF line, U1 taking the "V" and PU taking the RF moving toward the RF line (this is roughly a 20/70/10 split of the field). The fly to CF is U1's call, he has responsbilility for the tagup as well so he must line up the catch and tag within the working area. U3 has R2 into 3rd.
PU in this case pretty much observes the action.
