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.

When I look at today's card, it looks just like the one I used a month ago. When you look at a lineup card, it doesn't even look like the second one you received for the same game, and neither one looks like the ones your received in the last game!

Consistancy, and intimate knowledge of your card cuts down on the time spent making lineup changes. That is significant compared to the minor time spend preparing the card in the first place.

Thanks for e-mailing it to me. Got it on some heavy paper and used it this
weekend in Baton Rouge Tournament.

And how did it go? The first few times I used it, it took some getting used to. I did some personal tweaking as to how I recopied the lineups, but it is worth it after you adjust.

I modified it some, but found it to work very well. Things went good.
