2-Man to 3 or 4-Man?

[piaa_ump]

championship games are not the place to spring a new mechanic on a crew....

I would rather see a well run 2 man game than a messed up 3-4 man game....as been said before, pick your best guys for the game and put them in the system that gives them the best opportunity for success....

I can see where the group thinks "Well, if we go to 4-man, we can give more umpires the opportunity to do the game. We really do have 4 guys that deserve it, so let's do it."

I don't agree with that line of thinking.

For a JH summer league game? I think it is a great time to have 4 guys work a system that is essentially easier than working with two as the movements are very easy. When is there another time they are going to work with this many umpires and someone not think they are totally crazy?

I dont think Ive made myself clear...lets say you picked 4 of your best guys who can do the championship game, but none of them have ever done 4 man.....my thought is to scrap doing 4 man and then assess if they can do three man.....if 3 of the 4 guys are well versed in 3 man then assign the 3 best to the game doing the 3 man system.....

if none of your 4 best guys are well versed in systems over 2 man, then choose the best 2 guys and do 2man.....

For championship games.... I want the best guys working the system that gives them the highest chances for a sucessful game....

And I completely agree. I was agreeing with you by giving the thought process of many organizations.

Best method.... attend a three man clinic, maybe even bring an umpire or 20 with you.
