Neither has played. Both are on the bench when the error is discovered three minutes into the game. You make the call.

Mike has played. Both are on the bench when the error is discovered three minutes into the game. You make the call.

Mike is in the game when the error is discovered three minutes into the game. You make the call.

ther's a case play or interp to the effect that "if the player is not in the game, and hasn't scored or committed a foul, then the scorebook does not need to be changed and no T is assessed." Some would argue that the interp is incorrect, but it's what we have, for now, in FED.

Use that to answer the above.

And, even if the players somehow have the exact same name, then there needs to be some other way to identify the correct player.

or, we could worrya bout something that might reasonably happen.
