NBUA Training
2013 3-Umpire Mechanics
Change for check swings:
Go to umpire on open side of the batter.
Basic Three Man Axioms
• Anytime there is a runner at first base, U1’s starting position is at first base, and U3’s starting position is in the infield (Deep B or C with runner on 1st, 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 1st and 2nd 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 2nd base.
What is a “Trouble Ball”
• Outfielder turns and begins to run toward the outfield fence (possible home run)
• Outfielder moving toward the foul line (possible fair/foul decision)
• Multiple fielders converging on a fly ball (collision – dropped ball)
• A catch being made below the waist (diving catch)
Situation:• No runners on or runner
on 3rd only• U1 and U3 are on the lines

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)
