Slow Pitch 3 man and a 2 man question.

The question is who does this call at third base belong to in a 2 man slow pitch system? The plate umpire needs to stay home for R2 coming home, so my guess is this is the BU call. The problem is the batter-runner who I also have to watch for. as the BU I could have had a play at either 2nd (batter-runner) or third (R2). PU just had a potential play at home on R1.

I don't do much 2 man in slow pitch and virtually no three man EVER, so I am not real strong on the positioning.

And yes, I can look it up in the umpires manual, but unfortunately I don't have access to it right now to look it up and don't feel like searching online for it, or paying for it.

Obviously, you meant R2 on first, corrected above.

R2 going from 1st to 3rd after R1 scores is PU responsibility. If the plays are close together, so that PU can not get both; PU must communicate (e.g., "I HAVE HOME") to the BU , who should already be anticipating the possibility.
