OBR Batting out turn???

[TBBlue]

Typically in a game with continuous batting order, you can add to the bottom of the lineup if a kid shows up. I've worked some mid-season "fun" tourneys, and that is the way the ground rules are written. It's participation for crying out loud. If there are no written rules, mention it at plate meeting...."if someone shows up, just stick them at the bottom of the lineup, we are here to get the kids at bats." Simple.

The main point on continuous lineups that must be heeded, is you must bat the maximum slots you have in the game at any time. If you drop below that (kid gets hurt or whatever) there is an out recorded for that vacant slot. This prevents the competitive rat from benching little Percy late in the game so he doesn't do his obligitory strike out with two outs and bases loaded.
