Comments?

Peace
A replaced player should be leaving within 3-5 seconds after the substitute comes in. If you apply this equally to A and B then I think it pretty much takes care of itself. That rarely happens however and B usually gets a longer time to get a replaced player off the field. I had one play like this last Friday night. I should have flagged B for IS but just as I was finishing recounting B (to confirm they actually had one too many on the field) B's coach called a time out.

Needless to say, the Fed needs to tweak some language regarding IP and IS before next year.
