2-man crew correct procedure.

"C" should not be conisdered a fixed spot. There are various game situatons and demonstrated abilities and tendencies of players that will cause adjustment forward and backward and, to a lesser degree, right to left.

Once in "C", realize that it is a starting point. Base umpiring is a dynamic activity.

Sometimes #@% happens out there on the field. As other have said, that's your call, and never point to someone else.

So make your best guess, if you're blocked out, and let the managers do their job. If they come straight to you (after requesting TIME), then consider going to your partner, if they ask in a decent manner.

If everyone follows the proper proecedures and protocols, things run pretty smoothly. It's when we deviate that we catch hell.
