First HS Game Ever

[blueump]

I remember the line-ups as well. I rarely during the match have to refer to my card, but I keep it in my hand as the umpire is required to do, to record substitutions and time outs. I am not one who "overly" uses my card, but have seen others, as you mention that do. they never watch the net or line, because they are either watching their card, or the ball.

My response was in no way a personal attack, I was just concerned when you said that you only use a card when working alone. Federation ball, which most high school rules fall under, require that a line-up card be kept by the umpire for every game.
