So, are you saying that PUs in softball don't go to 3BLX to set up for swipe tags?

I do a lot of two-man in baseball, and I am instructed to go to the PoP and then use 3BLX when a runner is scoring and the throw is coming from the right side of the field, in anticipation of a swipe.

Also, I've done plenty of NFHS softball tournament games where we've used three- and four-man crews, as well as three-man for ASA National Qualifiers. U1 is instructed to go to the back of the right-handed batter's box when the crew rotates.
