What constitutes a sub reporting?

[Stat-Man]

Personally, I'm happy if they at least come down to where my timer partner and I sit. I even put an X down on the floor at the star of each year. All too many times, teams will just have their subs kneel at the far end of the table and unless we spot them there, we don't know they want to enter game.

{Quote by RichMSN} I had one last season who told me I couldn't whistle in a sub who was still walking to the table. {/quote}

Hmm, a local well respected college official I know once told my former college table crew that subs had to be at the table and that a coach or player calling out "sub! sub! sub!" doesn't get them in the game. This isn't volleyball after all. Now if the offical wants to let them in early, I'm sure not going to argue.
