I usually just cover the basics:
1 - Ask them if they ever go out on a fly ball, and if so, what do they yell? 2 - Go over tag-up coverage 3 - Go over who has which bases, and when (trailing runner, etc). 4 - Ask them how they want to handle swipe tags or tags to the body on the BR (front vs. back). 5 - Remind your partner that you'll do your best to help them if they're in trouble. No two pre-games are ever going to be the same. Some umps NEVER go out in a 2-ump system, and some do. Some umps don't move very well to take the trailing runner into 3B on a triple with no runners on base. You just need to find out what to expect from your partner during the course of a game, what kind of style they have, and that's what the pre-game is meant to do.
