This winter I’m focusing my umpire studding on the 3-umpire system
. I have MLBs “
The Virtual Umpire Camp version 2.0” software and the “
CEB 3-umpire system version 1.02” (author Sascha P.). Are there any difference between this two regarding the mechanics ?

I personally do not like the design of the VUC DVD - anyway the content should be almost the same as CEB 3-umpire system version 1.02. The CEB 3US is 100% based on the PBUC system but contains only the basic principles.
In general there are two features many CEB umpire refuse to apply: Check swing appeal (PBUC: always check umpire on the line, if one BU is in the field) and - more important - going out on fly balls with runners on base (PBUC: if you feel real troubles out there then go out).
ABUA-A is planning an umpire clinic at the Spring Cup in Hluboka/CZ (end of march/beginning of april) where 3US is one of the topics. If you want to join us we would be happy. Three of our guys have been at the IBAF umpire camp this year which was for 3US only and we brought some interesting details with us.
