You can't use 2-3, because the issue is addressed in the rules.



Exactly. If the team provides the lineup to the scorer, and the scorer either uses another source or makes a transcription error; it's not on the team/coach. Why are we looking for a reason to call a T here?
It looks like we are actually on the same page. The posted message referring to a local rule is something they use, and may be fine with their rules interpreter. If you want the "big" games in that association, then, "When in Rome...."
