Lineup Maker Instructions
Our lineup tool is designed to simplify player rotation and keep scorekeeping accurate and organized. While it’s optional for Single A, coaches may find it useful for managing field positions.
Getting Started
Enter Player Names:
- Go to the "<Enter Player Info Here>" section in the lower right corner and add your roster names. These names will automatically populate in the drop-down lists for batting order and field positions.
Setting Up the Lineup:
- For each inning, use the drop-downs to assign positions. Only players who haven’t been assigned for that inning will appear in the list, making it easy to track rotations.
- Copying Positions: If only swapping a few positions, select the cells for the current inning, right-click, and choose “Paste Special > Values” in the next inning.
Creating a New Game:
- Click the “New” button to generate a new worksheet for each game, automatically labeled as "Game n." Rename it as needed (e.g., "Apr 03 @ Dbacks").
- Each new game tab saves your setup, allowing easy access to previous lineups throughout the season.
Printing Lineups:
- Print Two Copies for each game: one for the scorekeeper and one for your dugout.
Additional Tips
- Editing the Template: Enable macros if prompted. If you need to modify protected cells, unprotect the template (no password), then re-enable protection afterward to avoid accidental changes.
- Summary Check: Below the batting order, a summary shows each player’s field and bench time to ensure balanced play. This helps verify that each player gets fair rotation.
By following these steps, you’ll have a complete season’s worth of lineups saved in one workbook, making it easy to review playing time and keep rotations consistent.
