As I have been doing nothing but SP with myself as the only umpire all year, I haven't paid much attention to the 2-person mechanics. There is a Fall league championship game tomorrow that I am honored that my assignor wants me to do. For this one game only they are having 2 umpires. I just found this out this morning. I will of course study up on this tonight, but I know many of you work with 2 umpires all the time and was looking for some quick advise. Maybe just a few pointers to help someone used to being the only umpire on the field.
Thanks for your comments.

You should never be to the right of 2B, but if they are playing a 5-man infield, you may have to adjust in the middle a bit especially if there is stealing.

There is no stealing and I doubt there will be a 5 man infield, so staying in B should be no problem. If I read correctly, the field umpire is responsible for 1st and 2nd base, the last runner up to third if multiple runners and going out on balls to center and right field, the plate umpire has third and home, fair and foul, balls to left field, and anything to do with the pitch. I know this is over simplifying, but I think this is the basics.
Let me know if I misunderstood. Mike - Thanks for the help, I was really concerned about being in the right position, but staying in B makes that one less thing I have to worry about.
