I don't think Woodchuck read it all the way through, Mick.

Initially, he is right. The FLEX is batting in the 9th position and that is an illegal substitute.

But the coach escaped by stating (after the fact) that the FLEX was batting for the DP.

IF you accept that, you have an Unnounced Sub who is now legally in the game. BUT, batting in the wrong order - thus BOO!

My question is whether or not you allow the substitution? Do you effect the penalty for illegal sub immediately, or allow the coach to claim unnounced sub? Obviously the results are decidedly different.
