"Keeping" it and "overly using" it are two totally unrelated things.

Use it to write the lineup down, mark subs and timeouts, and if you absolutely have to, to check a lineup in a pinch. But really, you're better off learning the serve receive rotations themselves, rather than learning how to look at your card.
