Do any of you gentlemen have any tips or suggestions on how to keep my "paperwork" in order without holding up the game we are trying to speed up?

On the back of your line-up card, or wherever you record your subs, just make a note. Some guys make a "chart" to show the # and inning for both F1 and F2:
Inning: 1--2--3--4--5--6--7--
F1:.....12-------12
F2:
I just write the player's number, whether he's running for F1 or F2, and the inning. So 12CR1 - 1, 4 would show that #12 ran for F1 in the first and 4th innings.
