Adding players to a lineup

The crux is, you can't alter the number in the lineup after it's been established, and it's established once the lead-off spot bats a second time. That's where I'm going with this.

Then you didn't get it from 4-1-D.1, did you.

I appreciate the input, all. Thanks!

4-1-D.1 is the "global rule" (actually, USA rule), but your league is replacing it with its own rule. Therefore, your questions should be directed to your league.
