What are some of the most important things that I need to be aware of (areas most likely to screw up) when going to 3-man for the 1st time? Any advice or tips?
(1) U3 should read U1 on fly balls to the outfield. Right or wrong, if U1 goes out, U3 comes in. (And AHSAA wants us to go out even on routine fly balls)

(2) Anytime an umpire goes out, revert to 2-man mechanics.

(3) COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE
