Partner helps a little too much

Well with a runner on 2nd he should have been in C1, off left shoulder toward 2nd base. With a runner on 3rd then you shade toward your runner on 3rd and are in C2 right shoulder of shortstop.

yes, this i know (well around these here parts it good ole "c" )... thats why we talked about it post game. (could have done it on the line as suggested, but he was actually taking his position out in right field tween innings and i didnt want to upset him)
TTYL... its jamboree time.

I just flipped through the NFHS umpires manual. I didn't see any reference to positions C1 or C2. There was a passage describing the field umpire's position as "behind and to the shortstop's left" for runner on 2B only; and "behind and to the shortstop's right" for runner on 3B only.

I have more training tomorrow, so I'll pose the question then.

I've not seen it written down in an official fashion. I think it's one of those terms that a lot of us use that most people know, but it's not "official."

In SP, we use the same thing for the BU going to B. B1 is off F4's left shoulder, B2 is off the right.
