JR,
Thanks for the help. I was bouncing some thoughts off you in order to help me define "eligible to play." I have decided to go with: dressed in uniform AND listed in the score book. If either of these two requirements is not met then I am going to say that this person is not eligible to play.
Therefore, in the senario I asked about, the coach cannot be forced to play that last kid. He may finish the game with four.
However, if that last kid is listed in the book, but is listed with an incorrect number, I am going to rule that he must play and that the team has to take the T.
