All levels (pro, NCAA, FED) have umpires running all over the place for no good reason. If you're U1 and can't be at 2nd base from A in advance of the runner, retire.

The ONLY time the rotation helps is when a rundown happens between first and 2nd. However, other than annoying you, I don't see any harm in this rotation.
