Every substitution occurs between downs, and every substitution involves substitutes and replaced players. I don't see anything that excepts COP or time-outs.

If this rule is meant to be applied during timeouts, it's the first I've heard of it. Surely we're not watching players entering the field during a time out and counting to 3. The players that come on the field after a timeout are not replacing anyone. That is the main difference between this situation and the normal between-play substitution.

Exactly what I said in post 23. But I don't see anything that restricts the scope of 3-7-1.

You can't have a substitution without substitutes and replaced players. During a time-out we don't pay attention to that, but it's still a substitution.

I do see your point. Time to re-crack open my book.

Eh. You use only NCAA, right? I doubt they have this problem, which isn't terribly serious because nobody (well, nobody I know) would ever call a dead-ball IS in the middle of a time-out.

Yes... but due to the unfriendly and unhelpful responses from one member, I bothered to have someone send me last year's FED book.
