If coach has used all three of his conferences and asks for time to go out and talk to his pitcher, this is where you get involved immediately.

"Coach, this will be your fourth conference. If you go out, your pitcher is done as the pitcher."

If he acknowledges that, let him go and then get the change.
If he has lost track and decides not to take the conference, play ball.

Now drifting into lineup card management, what is the best practice to mark the card when this happens? I keep a list on the back of the team's card with the conference type, inning and player numbers if I can get it.

Example from a recent game card:

Code:
Offcon 2 #4
OC 3 #15
OC 4 BR #33 + runners

Defcon 3 Team
DC 4 F1@circle
Should I just write #46 MAY NOT PITCH after the 4th conference?

I gave up keeping track of OC's a long time ago - they only get one, and when I do get one, I am fairly emphatic telling the coach, "Coach, that's your conference for the inning", or such. Never had a problem with that.
