Not to hijack the thread, but I want to, as a player, invoke the sub rule that says a captain can request opposing subs to stand in a line if there are 3 or more of them. I wonder how many officials would honor that request (how many team captains ever make this request?).

Stand in a line?

A captain can ask for a defensive match-up if 3 or more subs from the other team comes in, but there's no requirement to stand in a line....or stand anywhere for that matter. We just give them a few seconds to decide who they're each gonna take, is all.
