Question #1 Yes, the line-up card supplied at the coaches pre-game conference should be accepted.

Question #2 D is the correct answer, though I think we have all thought we will just write it down later. Reporting to the opposing team, in this case, the visitor coach is a rule requirement. Rule 3-1-3. If you would have caught the line-up error of #5 not being listed it would be a quick resolution.

Question #3 B, I think after you screwed up in your logic of the question #2 if "C" was your actions/answer, you should apologize. If you had done what was required there would be no need for question #3.

Backstory, an elimination game in one of our state's championships questions 1, 2 and 3 happened. The lineup was presented with #5 missing, something similar to question #2 happened, which resulted in the question #3, with the coach calling it an ILLEGAL SUBSTITUTION. It got ugly and complicated (50-minute delay) with a UIC being called to the field, multiple calls to a State Director. The big problem, the visiting coach simply not being able to accept the ruling.

Luckily I was working an 11 inning 3+ hour game on another field wondering why they couldn't finish the 7th.

Like I said it would have never got to the problem in the 7th if good record keeping practices would have been followed.
