We now "forget" the official lineup card and allow him to "add" a player as long as they are on the roster.

This sort of make the "official approved lineup" mute if it can be changed.

I'm of the school, that what you turn in is what you use once you've been given a chance to double check it for accuracy.

What's the logic of allowing modifications to lineup cards after approval?
The content is official with regard to starting, sequence, position, etc. Adding players later does not change those aspects.
