The 3-umpire system is great and not nearly as complicated as many seem to think it is.
I got burned working 3 man in a high school play-off game. I was U3 and a rotation situation came up. I moved over to second to make a call. The ball gets loose, the runner at second breaks for 3rd. I look at 3rd and see no one there. Ended up having to make a close call at 3rd in bad position. Later I ask PU what happened. He said he moved to 3rd, but noticed that U1 umpire never moved, so he held back to cover a possible play at the plate. Also later checking with 1B and he says to me that he is never to cover home. Swell. Yes, it works when everyone knows what they are to do.
