Congrats!

 

Pregame, pregame, pregame.  Cover rotations, signals, etc.

If you're not used to 3-man, read-read-read about it and know your rotations/responsibilities.  

Oh and......CONGRATS!

Congrats bud, that's awesome!

Reading about it the week of the game is great and all, but high school organizations throwing three umpires on a field and expecting it to work correctly is asking for trouble. 

With that said, read and pregame.

@zm1283 I agree with you 190%.  We'll see what happens.

​Would they even know if it was being done correctly?

​In my neck of the woods they scrapped 3-man entirely from the playoffs.  Mixing umpires from different chapters and little practice led to some interesting rotations and near disasters.

No, they would not.

​Yep. My point exactly. They're better off staying with 2-man or using six umpires and just telling the infield umpires not to go out and let the two outfield umpires handle all catch/no catch responsibilities.
