Your line up card

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.

Yeah, that was me. I use the EA system; luv it. I developed a two sided card in Excel. I print it on 110 lb paper. One side for home, opposide side for visitors. Easily fits under the clip in my Honigs folder.

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.
