2-Man to 3 or 4-Man?

[gfgartland]

I am the Assistant Chief Umpire for one of my leagues. We finally (after years of discussion) went to 2-man crews for our high school and Jr. high levels 2 years ago. We had previously only used the 2-man in the Championships.

We have a good solid core of 2-man umps (including myself and another who went to Jim Evans), but would like to possibly step it up to either 3-man or 4-man crews on our Championships.

I am wondering if this is something that can be done easily, or should we wait and hold off for maybe down the line? None of us have really ever done the 3 or 4, so it would be a 1 day, 2 game thing.

If we did it, what do you see would be the downfalls (missed coverages, forgotten rotations, ect.)?
