Who's job is it to track substitutions? (Hints below)
The lineup card is essential to a minimum play requirement protest, whether you think it should be or not.
In LL the umpire IS involved. Your personal dislike for the concept can't change that.

This has nothing to do with minimum play.
So along with keeping track of all the subs, and reentry and all, the umpire must write down somewhere when the players enter and leave the game? I would like to see that lineup card.
Please cite the ruling that says that an umpire keeps track of how many innings a player plays.

NOTE 2: All Little League officials are urged to take precautions to prevent protests. When a protest situation is imminent, the potential offenders should be notified immediately. Example: Should a manager, official scorer, league official or umpire discover that a pitcher is ineligible at the beginning of the game, or will become ineligible during the game or at the start of the next inning of play, the fact should be brought to the attention of the manager of the team involved. Such action should not be delayed until the infraction has occurred. However, failure of personnel to notify the manager of the infraction does not affect the validity of the protest.

Have you been taking lessons from coachJM in how to boring stuff that has nothing to do with anything?
So how is the umpire going to know that the pitcher is not elgible? Is the umpire supposed to watch every one of this team's games and keep track of how much this guy pitches? If the opposing manager tells the umpire that the pitcher is over the limit, then go and tell the pitcher's manager to take him out. Unless someone tells the umpire, how is he going to know?
That is like saying drinking Pepsi at home before you go to the game is illegal. Ok well, how is the umpire supposed to know if someone drank Pepsi?

What does this have to do with keeping track of how many innings a kid plays? The UIC keeps track of the batting order. I already knew that.

Once again, what does this have to do with keeping track of how many innings a kid plays?
Instead of posting various rules, how about you cite the rule that says the umpire is in charge of making sure every gets their minimum play in.
