Thanks for sticking with this, Mike.
As I reread the rule, I think maybe the problem is classic ASA poor syntax.
The rule starts out saying the unreported sub will be DQed "when discovered." OK - when discovered, now or later. Same wording in the POE.
Perhaps the next sentence I was quoting was actually meant to say... "If the player is still in the game, the use of an unreported substitute is handled as a protest by the offended team."
Either way, it needs to be cleaned up.
