I have my only little way of maintaining the line-up, but I do not teach them and refer anyone who asks to cactusumpires.com.

This is what would keep me from using this - If I rewrite a coach's lineup card onto my own, I could screw it up. I've got each card/paper neatly folded with the team name showing when I open the holder.
I use EA's system when doing softball and have for several years. It works.
AND, if my game is suspended, the next umpire can easily pick up my lineup cards and use them.
When doing a baseball game, I continue to use the A-B-C method that I used to use for both games.
