1. NBUA Training 2013 3-Umpire Mechanics Change for check swings: Go to umpire on open side of the batter.

2. Basic Three Man Axioms Anytime there is a runner at first base, U1s starting position is at first base, and U3s starting position is in the infield (Deep B or C with runner on 1 st, Regular C with any other runner configuration). With 2 outs U1 always starts in A. Anytime there is a runner in scoring position the PU remains at home, unless rotating up to third base for a tag up situation with runners on 1 st and 2 nd with less than two outs. Check swing appeals always go to the umpire on the open side of the batter. With multiple runners on, less then two outs, no umpires going out, and the PU remaining home, U1 always has B/R into 2 nd base.

26. CCA and WOA Differences Go out from inside (B or C) with CCA, do not go out from inside with WOA. (WOA p. 115, CCA p. 126, 133, 134) With R1 and R3, rotate with WOA, do not rotate per CCA. (WOA p. 147, CCA p. 143) With 2 outs, U1 is always on the line in CCA, no change with 2 outs in high school. (WOA p. 149, 157; CCA p. 162, 171, 172)
