Not totally sure if this is the same as T's but, substitute comes in game I put his number next to starter and x out his number below, and circle starter number. No scratching out of names and subs should be listed below anyway with names. Circle means the player is eligible to return.
If starter comes back in I simply x out sub number. If another sub comes in for starter, starters number with circle gets x-out. This applies to DH also.
After the game you can easily read the lineup and names if a report is necessary, and it takes less time during the game writing a number, an X, or circling a number.
As already stated here, any change that goes on the sheet is relayed to the other book using numbers 6 for 8 etc. If the team says the ninth batter, well they better have a number to along with that request or we are not playing until there is. I really don't care if the announcer gets the change or not, I leave that up to the teams.
