A properly completed line-up card is an important tool for an umpire.
It can keep the umpire and teams out of sticky situations. I do not work a game without one and I don't care how long it takes. The coaches are told before the season to have them available. The league supplies them.
However, that doesn't mean it isn't a fight, but I always win!
