Point of fact - the only person calling one better than the other (at least so far) is you.

That's complete BS. I never said my system was superior. I'm only defending my system from unfounded accusations that its lazy/prone to errors. My suggestion was in response to the OP which was talking about how to keep track of which CR goes with which battery member.

BlueHair:

The Lineup Card has a purpose: To keep track of all substitutions made in the game. The CR is a type of substitution. A substitute can only be CR for one position (F1 or F2) per game. If #11 CRs for F1 in the first inning, he can only CR for the F1 the entire game, he can not run for the F2 in the same inning or a later inning. These changes must be kept on the Lineup Card so that the PU can immediately stop the HC from having #1 CR for the F2 in a later inning. And if the game is suspended, your Lineup Card should remain with the Official Scorebook so that if the game is resumed at a later date and you are not the PU when the game is resumed the new PU will know who, what, and where.

Besides, umpire writing with a permanent marking on his hand is childish looking. Be a professional and act like a professional.
