I just presented the PowerPoint at our first clinic this year. So did I. It is a good system. YES I haven't used it in a game yet but plan to start using it this year starting with my first game. Likewise. Takes a little bit of study to learn it but I am sure it will be well worth it. Minor disagreement; I found it easy to learn.
Most of the umps on my board indicated they wanted to give it a try. 24 of 25 softball umps that attended our clinic want a copy of my lineup card and they all plan to try it this year.
Our H.S. State Association wants to develop a unified lineup card to be used for all softball and baseball teams. I'm sure its the same everywhere; you are handed lineup cards that are anything from 2" squares to hand written notebook paper to computer generated pieces of paper. Every umpire I know would like to get handed the same lineup card. The MHSAA is looking at Emily Alexander's card and is seriously considering using it next year. The card can be used without using the "system." But hopefully we will also start teaching the system.
