Umpire Line-up Card

[PaREF]

Since you've already seen many ways to use a line-up card I doubt that I could give a "best" way of keeping the card. Everyone uses a different method. My two suggestions are...

1. Of the methods you were shown, pick one that seems to make sense to you. Something that you can recognize and make sense of with a quick glance.

2. Start out simple. As long as you can track serving order and keep track of substitutions, you'll be OK. Anything else (score, # of timeouts, etc.) can be checked with the scorekeeper. As you get more experience you will be able to keep track of more things on your card.
