FOr our area the scheduling is usually as follows:
1:30 between games
3 Umpires to a field.
Rotating as
Plate Umpire
Base Umpire
Off
So a typical field schedule would look like
Game 1
PU: Able
BU: Brian (Charlie is off)
Game 2
PU: Charlie
BU: Able (brian is off)
Game 3
PU: Brian
BU: Charlie (able is off)
and so on throughout the day.. usually on Saturdays that rotation would go on from 8 am to 8 pm.
How is it done in your area?

That is what we do here. It allows Brian and Charlie to start gme 2 while giving Able a bit more time to come out of the plate mode if needed.
The only thing I don't like is Able never gets to work bases with Charlie as the PU. Would be nice to see and learn from all, but the three man works OK.
