Looking for a Rule Reference

Where's the rule backing for this, as opposed to waiving B6 in as we wait for A6?

I am eating lunch while I wait for Junior to get home of a Calculus exam before we leave for his college softball DH, so I would rather eat my Italian rather than dig through the rules BUT...

I do not believe that you will find anything prohibiting it. That said, my preference has been to not bring them in until the substitute for A1 has reported to the Scorer.
