I'm not convinced I can use 10-1-2, as the players' numbers weren't changed.

Fortunately, it wasn't my game, and I hope it gets brought up at our next meeting.

Yes, they switched jerseys, and by rule that would be two flagrant fouls and ejections, if they participate. My preference would be to tell the coach that by simply reversing the numbers in the book you only get 1 T.

The rule says they have to participate "without notifying" the scorer or officials. That doesn't happen, so I don't think you can go to 10-3-1 at all.

10-1-2 is possible, but by the time it got noticed, they had rectified the problem. No numbers are changed in the book.

I agree. I would go with 10-1-2 also.

Sorry, I'm just trying to flesh this out a bit.

It's all good. Book does say, if they change uniforms and participate it is a flagrant. I guess if the scorekeeper tells me prior to the start of the second half, I am going to the coach and saying..

1. If your two players participate after changing jerseys, each will be given a flagrant T, and they are ejected.

2. If you change the numbers in the book to the correct numbers, you will only receive 1 T.

I am pretty sure option 2 will be choosen.

But I don't even know if this is right. 10-3-1 says Participate after changing number without reporting it to the scorer and official. Which both were notified.
