Last portion of video shows runners at 1st and 2nd. Fly ball to outfield where U3 goes out, and PU goes to 3rd base to make call. Diagramming shows U1 holding in middle of field. If runner at 3rd continues home for some reason...I would think that U1 has to get home as opposed to PU chasing runner (never good).
R1 at 2B and R2 at 1B (counter rotated)...Fly ball to center, if U1 goes out - does U3 go behind the circle (for R2 & BR) and PU goes to the holding zone (for 3B & Plate coverage)?
Thank you! Very helpful. ! have my first sectional game in 3-man coming up soon here in WI
Line shot over bag that lands in front of either U1 or U3 , which umpire has the call (fair/foul), Plate or base umpire?
Excellent video. Does USA Softball publish a 3 man manual of some type? Just to have for a reference.
Yep...definitely in the back of the Umpire manual One man, two man, three man.....

No rotation either from counter-rotated or in two-man. Plate umpire has both 3B and H here
Very good video by the way.
