You got that right. The few times I've worked on a crew of 4 I got bored real quick if I wasn't on 1B or the plate. Maybe I was doing it wrong, I don't know... For the small diamond I think a crew of 3 is just right. We don't do 4 or 6 in any of our district tournament games.
Like the others said, training and experience varies between areas. In my district we have strong leadership and a group of well trained umpires that grows each year.
