Why would they reference 3-7-4 for question #5?? 3-7-4 states "During a down a replaced player or substitute who attempts unsuccessfully to
LEAVE the field and who does not participate in or affect the play, constitutes an illegal substitution." The question asks "If substitute B12
ENTERS the field during a down but does not participate or influence the play, it is a nonplayer foul."
The correct reference would be 2-30-10 which states "a nonplayer is a coach, trainer, other attendant, a substitute or a replaced player who does not participate by touching the ball, hindering an opponent or influencing the play. See 9-5 for illegal participation." That is what would make the question true.
