Use of lineup cards by SP umpires

[Rick Vietti]

Around here (Nevada) they use a game card that each team fills out. One side is the lineup and the other is a scoreboard type card to keep track of the runs.

No scorekeepers here, blues keep track of the runs and their count is final. I tell the teams that I will announce the runs at the end of the 1/2 inning and corrections can be talked about at that time. If they come back to me after we have thrown a pitch to start the inning, tough luck no matter what their wives/girlfriends score book says.

I have never had anyone ask me about BOO in a rec league game.
