I have to disagree with you, Ed. Where does it say a player becomes a replaced player when he creates a vacancy? A replaced player is one who has been notified by a substitute that he is to leave the field. A player is also replaced when the entering substitute becomes a player. I don't think the rules back you up.

A player is one of the 11 on a team. Rule 3-7-4 states...During the same dead-ball interval, no substitute shall become a player and then withdraw and no player shall withdraw and re-enter as a substitute unless a penalty is accepted, a dead-ball foul occurs, there is a charged time-out or the period ends.
By implication, when a player withdraws he creates a player vacancy. That vacancy can only be filled by a substitute and according to 3-7-4 the now replaced player cannot become a substitute unless one of the caveats occurs.
Also, the only way to create a player vacancy is by the withdrawl of a player.

In your orignal statement, you said that this player becomes a replaced player when he creates a vacancy. That's not true. Nothing in 2-30-12 states that.
If a player was never substituted for, then he never became a replaced player. If he was never replaced, he never became a subsitute.
