Your line up card

The card is a time saver, but if you wish to keep doing things your way, I totally understand. It was just a tool that WMB sent a few years ago, and I gave it a try. First couple of times out, I wasn't a fan either. But as I perfected my way of using it, I really like it. I am not trying to sell anyone on it though. Umpires have been doing it your way for years.

I can understand it as a time saver, but I will never rewrite a coach's line up. We are all human and make mistakes. I'll deal with two pieces of paper, neatly folded and placed in a line-up card holder. If the teams have to wait and extra 15-20 seconds for me to make a change, so be it.

I have my only little way of maintaining the line-up, but I do not teach them and refer anyone who asks to cactusumpires.com.
