Your line up card
How many of you use the Lineup Management System?
Our association is recommending it's use. It definitely makes for a cleaner/neater line up card. I like the built in checks and balances. I was curious how many of you use it and your opinion of the system - I see the advantages, is there any downside? |

I take one line up card and write "green" (or whatever color they are) at the top.. and do the same to the other.. kinda wad them/fold them up and smoosh them into my ball bag kinda inside the line up card holder. I have found this to be a wonderful Lineup Management System with an unbelieveable ease of use.

And just what, pray tell, is the Lineup Management System? And how much does it cost? MTD, Sr.

It seems that every once in a while we revisit this topic. Yes, I have been using Emily's system for years, and also teach it to umpires in our association so that in the event that a game has to be continued at some point without the same umpires, a quick glance at the lineups will tell the story of the game. It is a good system.
One of our members on this board, though I can't recall who just now, actually developed a line-up card that works perfectly with the system.

I use it, love it, works great. NCAA requires you to use it, so I just carry it down to the NFHS and ASA stuff.
Can't quite get our UIC and training staff (yes, I'm even ON the training staff) to teach it... something about 'it's not approved for ASA and NFHS so we shouldn't teach it until they come out and say it's required.' Oh well. When individuals ask me what I use, I teach them... and give them the powerpoint presentation. We just don't educate the masses with it... yet.

That is as ridiculous as not working a 4-umpire system at the top level of ASA's youth game because there is no mechanics for it in the book. I guess all those 4 & 6 umpire games I worked didn't count ![]() |

Yes, it takes a minute or two per game to fill out. But when I open my folder, I always have the same size line-up document that looks the same today as it did six weeks ago. I can have the changes posted and announced typically before I can even unfold the assorted sized papers and then I am not sure which one to use. It is great for line-up management, especially when using DP/FLEX, and very handy in summer tournaments where coaches are under more pressure to get everyone in the game. Of course, if you only have 9 or 10 players to start a game, it is a bit of overkill. Contact me at [email protected] and I'll email it to you. WMB |
