jkumpire, what you are suggesting is
not something to consider. You have no basis in rule to consider what you are suggesting. It doesn't matter if it is a Varsity, JV, Frosh/soph or Junior High match - if there is nothing in writing to back what you are suggesting, it is not proper procedure and should not be done.

1 - You say that you understand, however, you are not allowed to take that into consideration. The lineup as it was submitted has to stand for the game.
2 - Where is there any differentiation designated in the rules for this situation? There isn't any, so follow the rule as printed.
3 - Where can you find specific justification for this in any rules book? Sorry, but it is in the best interest of the players to learn how to deal with errors that happen.
We do not judge intent only what is actually done. The lineup was submitted in the wrong order. TOO BAD! If the time limit for submission has passed, and there are six legal numbers, the lineup is legal and has to be lived with.
Your heart may be in the right place, but that and 50 cents will buy you a cup of coffee (but not at Starbucks!).
