The crux is, you can't alter the number in the lineup after it's been established, and it's established once the lead-off spot bats a second time. That's where I'm going with this.

So, they can't add a "late" arrival after the 9th bats;
but can use that "late" arrival as a sub at convenience;
but you can add the tenth player (if gender ok) after the game starts, for a while.
And people struggle with DP/FLEX and pool play!
