Just be aware that knowledgeable coaches may burn a re-entry and sub and send the wrong courtesy runner out as a pinch runner in certain situations. The will usually tell you that it's a pinch runner. If the coach sends out the wrong runner you can tell them that he can't courtesy run. Opinions differ about whether you can point out the ability to PR to the coach. Since this is a new thing in your area it might be acceptable
