Proper Postioning

There can even be local differences. For example, our high school association teaches it like this:

.........1st
....1st.......3rd
1st......2nd......3rd

They teach new umpires to just remember the trangle above for "B," and for all other runners on base you'd be in "C."

It works for us.

And in the end it doesn't matter -- the positions are just starting points anyway.

I like B for a lot of situations, but since I worked about 50% college games this spring, I decided to go strictly CCA for all my games.
