I've met umpires that only used 1BLX, then learned the benefit of 3BLX and now think that 3BLX is the only place to be. You can't just scrap 1BLX. Start at POP, read, and move.
I'm not sure you can see that in 1BX either because the tag is applied <-here while the foot is -> there.

If the tag is on the foot, you can see it in either spot.
