Anyone heard of this? Any reference I can look up?

Thanks

ROFLMAO! Not laughing at you RCBSports. It is just a little used rule that is valid in both NFHS and NCAA. Whenever a team three players from one team enter that game during the same substitution period, the captain for either team can request a line-up. It is usually a simulated jump ball situation at the center circle. Ah, don't you just love the ancient ways.
