I thought the 1st part was strange at first but went with it and took the sub also. I looked it up when I got home and found that you can put the DP in for the flex or the flex in for the DP, but couldn't find where you could just switch them. Thoughts.

Study the DP/Flex rule of the code(s) you work and know them cold. If you don't feel confident enough with the ins/outs of the rule when having to handle lineup changes in a game, carry a 'cheat sheet' in a spare lineup card holder and keep it in one of your ball bags. Coach hits you with a DP/Flex change or question that's stumping you....reach for the sheet. Better to take the time to get it right and avoid a screwup that could lead to a protest.
