Courtesy runner implementation

#8 F1 SMITH, B. CR12(3)
#2 F6 WALKER, R
#6 F2 JONES, J. CR16(4)

This means #12 courtesy ran for F1 in the third, and #16 CR'ed for #6 in the fourth. I don't use the back of my lineup card for anything.

I, personally, would find that method confusing -- what do you do if Smith and Jones swap spots? 12 can still only run for the pitcher (who is now Jones) and 16 can still only run for the catcher (who is now Smith).

So, I guess the point to the OP is -- find a method that works for you -- consistent with how you already record other game events.
