Ok, I can't rememebr if this has been discussed or not in the past.
I had a player wearing a hair elastic around her wrist that wasn't noticed right away when she entered the game. When it was noticed my partner asked for a sub for her and she was removed from the floor. She took off the bands and then wanted to come right back on the floor.

My question is, and I always get this mixed up, does the player who was removed have to wait for a tick off the clock in order to come back in or does the substitute have to stay in for that tick only. In other words could the girl withthe bands sub right back for another player?

I said NO WAY she stays out until the clock runs. A senior official from our conference was indicating it may be otherwise. I asked her to come to our change room after the game so we could discuss her view and now we both are unsure.

Thanks
