With this card we have instructed coaches the correct NFHS system for listing the DH and had taught umpires how to use the card (similar to what Steve touched on). What the design tried to accomplish was to make changes clear and FAST so umpires would actually make changes.
We required all substitutions to be made, all trips to the mound made (with notations ofr batter, count and # of coach going to the mound) and of course we want any ejections listed.
The "proof" side of the card is that starting in 2011 with any ejection an umpire must send a true copy of his lineup card in with the ejection report so we can monitor that cards are being kept and are up to date.

In Iowa each team is suppose to (but don't always) use the state-sponsored line-up card. The current card does not have room to write all the information you've mentioned though for a mound trip. I usually just include the inning and outs.
What do you mean by proof side?
