[ayso45-refs] Missing Team Cards

[Kirshenbaum, Evan R]

I agree that you should always take the lineup card from the coach (and
thank them for it), but I do print out the "Input" form ahead of time,
because I can fold and tape this into a single pocket-sized card that
has one line-up on each side.  But the coaches' cards are necessary, if
only for the games when the expected ref doesn't show up and you get
asked to fill in.
 
I wanted to say a couple of words about "cut it up for the referee".  I
prefer that the coaches don't, unless they're printing on card stock
(which I have yet to see), because I can fold a full sheet of paper into
something that has a bit of rigidity to write on.

	Hello all.
	
	I want to make this brief, so here is my best attempt. 
	
	There has been some discussion on "missing team cards" and the
suggestion was 
	made by several to print them ahead of time. Personally, I find
it annoying 
	when I am asked to print out the lineup card, I cut it up for
the referee to 
	use in the game, have it ready for when the officials check in
our team, and 
	THEN be told they do not want it.
	
	If there was ever a negative incentive to do the right thing,
this is 
	definitely it!
	
	SUGGESTION: Referees ALWAYS take the lineup card from the coach,
even if they 
	have a preprinted one already. It reinforces a habit we want to
continue, 
	coaches submitting a lineup card to the officials before the
match.
	
	Just my .02, let the discourse begin!
