Come on!!!!

Way to0 complicated...

Did you actually read the presentation?

I did not go through all 80+ pages.. The beginning was mostly rules.. then algebraic calculus computations to somehow allegedly insure no one gets illegally subbed... After getting the gist of it, I closed it down. So if there was a climactic ending such as "HAHAHA Just kidding, look just cross of the subs" .. I missed it.

Emily is a WAY advanced umpire and what works for her wouldnt necessarily work for the rest of earth.. I would never show that system to a new umpire.

Now I thought that this was about the simplest "standard" way of taking care of the lineup. The way I used to do this was equally simple - but - it left some room for doubt/question if a game was suspended and somebody else got to finish it. Maybe due to the real job, I think in terms of verification and recoverability by somebody else.

And that is where a system like EA's is invaluable.

Well, since you got the gist of it, you then know the presentation was mostly about the substitution rules, and especially DP/FLEX.

Teaching the lineup card system to someone who does not need the instruction on the rules would take about 3 slides. Maybe 2.
