Required by rule as RKB cited

Not required, but something I do as a courtesy to the coaches in the rare (in my experience) event that there is a change.

Just because required on the lineup or do you mean something more?

[Andy]

Nothing more...all nine defensive players are required to have a defensive position listed on the lineup...I interpret that to mean that all nine defensive positions must be assigned to a player.

I would not accept a lineup that showed two different players listed as F7, for example.

Absorbed by me.

Yes but the designations DP and FLEX are the positions per 4.C.1.a. And, this is all mute because no one can tell me, except courtesy runner, why you need this information.

Flex is not a defensive position. The rule requires the players to have a defensive position listed on the lineup card when submitted.

4.a states what must be included on a line up including position. 4.b defines the position including the option for a DP FLEX as positions

Your scenario has to do with who is the flex. That has nothing to do with a fielded position and everything to do with the name and number.
