If one were to do a same day MR, say the following:
TPA-ATL-DCA-DTW-TPA
Would 1 RUC apply to all the segments or would you have to use two?

With a normal (non-broken) fare your trip would require 2 upgrade certs... one for the outgoing TPA-ATL-DCA and 1 for the return DCA-DTW-TPA segments.

Oops, must've hit page down instead of scrolling and missed that.
Another way to tell if you have a broken fare is if the paired outbound or return segments are in different buckets... for example if TPA-ATL is X and ATL-DCA is L then its a broken fare.

That being said, I've had few problems on a broken fare getting them applied in one direction providing the flights are on the same day. Recently booked BOS-HND but it was two fares, BOS-LAX and LAX - HND. One GUC cleared the whole way to Tokyo.

However, I think there can be some obscure cases where two segments can book into the same fare class or booking class despite there being a broken fare.
Another weird example might be something like the following: you purchase a G fare which is really L-UP for a connection from mainline to a CRJ-200. I *think* the booking classes then must be G and L, which *might* also show up on the itinerary and receipt as fare classes G and L respectively even though it's not a broken fare and uses the same (through) fare code LXXXXX-WNUP for both segments.

I've seen those where I had an A on mainline connecting to an L on an RJ. Back when you could see all of the breakdowns, the L leg did indeed have the same fare code with the /WNUP as the A. Only received base miles/mqms for the L segment however and not the first class bonus.

I think you misunderstood... what you have is considered a common and normal fare... where the 'outbound' is different than the 'return'.
You need 2 GUCs, one for the flights out and one for back. Doesn't matter that it is same day. The system will see DCA as your 'destination' so your GUC ends there.
If you had broken fares, you'd need more than two.
