For rec league all i work is 1 man..
for the few slow pitch games which I've started working this year.. its one man, which i would hate to work 2 man, its boring enough already.

If its fast pitch, its tough, but I just suggest hustle for angles as best as possible.. kinda hurts the players IMO with the leaving early and other stuff thats hard to watch from behind the plate.. I hate one man in fp even though i work it alot, its just better to have another guy out there for the players sake.
