1) With no one one, someone goes out on all fly balls. IF both U1 and U3 go out, or both come in, it's U1's fault.
2) Never go out from the middle
3) If someone goes out, the other umpires revert to two-man.
4) Look to your left (iow, clockwise around the diamond). If you see an open base, run to it, but don't run away from an immediate play.
Those four rules will cover 90% of the plays.
