The "standards" give you a base. They put you in a good position for most of the routine and some not routine plays. However, there is absolutely nothing that demands you stand on a certain spot to make a call. For that matter, deviation to accommodate a needed adjustment to make the call is encouraged as long as any necessary communications with their partner.
The "standards" can allow a crew of strangers to step on the field and know exactly where each umpire is going to be and what they are covering on the play without going into a detail pregame clinic
