Exactly. So who's debating what? Other than what you said--that the "CORRECT" line-up card is the one presented to the opposing team--there is no debate.
Assume the following: Team A's manager presents his line-up (original and copy) to the UIC at the plate. Somehow, the copy is not exactly the same as the original. And somehow, the UIC fails to verify that as he hands the copy over to the opposing team's manager.
By what you said, the copy that the opposing manager has, not the original the UIC keeps, is "CORRECT". By rule, that's not the case.
You just need to be careful with what you say here. Yes, 99 times out of 100, you would be right. But there's always that one chance that things get screwed up during the exchange.
