Depending on your rule set, you may have to invoke OBR 9.01c or FED 10-2-1g. To paraphrase, both rules state the umpire in chief as the authority to rule on matters not mentioned in the rule books. Since you aren't going to find a continuous batting order rule in either of those books, you have a case to rule any way you choose if these are local league rules.
