Although, in my first ever 3 umpire game I was at U3. I think, though, that was because my partners wanted to make me run!

We always stuck the rookie at the rabbit. Mainly bc we don't want them to forget to cover home on the rotation. But I can see Dakotas point about U1 being the more familiar spot
