With runners on first and third, first and second or bases loaded, is this acceptable?

PU has all tags at 3rd, BU has all others. No exceptions. R1 is likely going half-way instead of tagging. With a ball hit down the RF line, the tag at 3rd is the tough one, and is often an educated guess. Fair/foul, catch/no-catch come first. PU can't look for the tag at 3rd until after the catch/no-catch is over.
