You should be sure that's the mechanic set they are using before you spend a lot of time looking at it.

CCA keeps PU at home whenever there's an R2 or R3 -- some don't.

CCA has U3 take some tag-ups t third -- other's only when R2 and R3.

CCA lets the U1 / U3 go out from the middle.

Some send a wing umpire out on any fly ball in their area.

etc.

Whatever set you use -- look only at "your" position when studying -- learn "just" U3 for the first game, then "just" U1 for the second, etc. Don't try to learn it all at once.
