Sorry, Grrrrller87, but I am going to disagree completely with your answer to this situation. This is a situation where doing nothing is not the proper action for this rules set.
As soon as the scorekeeper informs the Umpire (R2) that there is an incorrect player on the court, it is going to be handled as an illegal substitution (even though the Umpire/R2 messed up big time by not catching it when the line-ups were checked at the beginning of the game).
1 - If the violation is on the serving team, they are going to lose all points that were won while the illegal player was on the court since the opponent has not yet served.
2 - If the violation is on the receiving team, the LOR is going to be canceled, the serving team is going to be awarded a point for the illegal sub being on the court.
In either case, the illegal player must be replaced by the player that is listed on the line-up sheet and, then if the coach wants to sub her back into the game, that is fine.
