Now, if the umpire screws up and unknowingly allows an illegal sub, CR, or lineup, then the coach and his team are the ones who will pay the penalty if the opponents notice, but it is still the umpire who screwed up.

In our Assoc. The BU is responsible for tracking courtesy runners. This would leave us open to the possibility cited above since the PU with the lineup card does not note that. I will be talking to our clinician about that.
