a) is a 10 man batting order permitted?
b) if so, and it later drops to 9 - is that vacated spot an automatic out when it comes up; or, is it just skipped over?
c) are they permitted to later continue play with only 8?

No one in this league has a definite answer.....
I've done some research on the National Adult Baseball Association for you, Rog-et, my friend.

They use the Official Baseball Rules with local modifications. The answers to your questions can only come from your local league's governing body. They decide whether to use EA's (extra hitters) or allow play with 8. It is different from league to league.

Pretty much all the NABA home office does is help leagues get set up, and run national tournaments. They don't get involved with petty things like the rules.

Sorry I couldn't help you any better than that.
