Cheat Sheet

[BigGref]

Tried it friday night, I am U and just checked things off as we did them. worked great, smoothest game of year (except for inadvertent whistle, but had little influence)

I also use a checklist. Now, the last item on my list is to ask if everyone is legally equipped. Prevoiusly, I found that if the coach had a player with a cast, etc, he would stop & yell for the player to come over and it would interfere with our meeting. (this occurred even if I told him that we would check the player after.) Have been asking about equipt. last this year and things have gone much smoother.

I don't think the cheat sheet is a bad idea at all. I agree that reading from it might not be considered professional however it can help frame your thoughts and keep you on track.

Hard as I try (and I'm not a WH) my little league message on Sat/Sun never seems exactly the same and I do it from memory.

I use a similar cheat sheet for fast pitch softball to help me remember the details of our plate conference with coaches and captains. Kentucky also requires us to read the NFHS sportsmanship card as well so both are kept in my chest pocket.
