I don't have the book handy, but iirc, if it's "routine" then the umpire in the middle has "the big V" (as opposed to "the little V" last year).
If it's not routine, then the umpire in the middle has only "the little V" and can / should go out on it. The umpire on the line should go out on trouble balls from F8 to his line.
(Assuming U1 on the line, U3 in the middle) So, U1 and U3 will have to communicate on fly balls hit between F8 and F9. Just like they communicate when both fielders are on the line. The "quarterback" is the umpire on the line -- if he comes in, the umpire in the middle has the catch. If he goes out, the umpire in the middle has the runners (revert to two-man).
