Your most experienced 3 man official should be at 3rd base, the 2nd most is the Dishman. This way the experienced official can mentor and educate between innings in Center Field.
I have to disagree with you on this one. The least experienced man should be U3. He only has to think about doing two things when the ball gets hit, going out or coming in. U1 is the quarterback. U3 needs to read U1 to see what he's doing.
