Please take a couple of minutes to answer 3 question.:)

Thanks,

1 - too hard to read,

2- D

3 - none of the above

Wow. I'm a dumb coach and got 3/3 score. :D

There is no correct answer for 3 as this is not an unreported sub. It was reported to the umpire but they didn't do their job.

True, but I think the point of the quiz is to see how you would handle the unthinkable if it happens. The game must continue. You have to pick one of those options.

Not unreported. It was reported to the umpire. All play stands. Apologize if you want.

I think you have to choose a correct option, not one of those listed.
The correct option is umpire mistake, no effect on the team with the sub and no recognizable jeopardy for the umpires to correct.

Question #1 Yes, the line-up card supplied at the coaches pre-game conference should be accepted.

Question #2 D is the correct answer, though I think we have all thought we will just write it down later. Reporting to the opposing team, in this case, the visitor coach is a rule requirement. Rule 3-1-3. If you would have caught the line-up error of #5 not being listed it would be a quick resolution.

Question #3 B, I think after you screwed up in your logic of the question #2 if "C" was your actions/answer, you should apologize. If you had done what was required there would be no need for question #3.

Backstory, an elimination game in one of our state's championships questions 1, 2 and 3 happened. The lineup was presented with #5 missing, something similar to question #2 happened, which resulted in the question #3, with the coach calling it an ILLEGAL SUBSTITUTION. It got ugly and complicated (50-minute delay) with a UIC being called to the field, multiple calls to a State Director. The big problem, the visiting coach simply not being able to accept the ruling.

Luckily I was working an 11 inning 3+ hour game on another field wondering why they couldn't finish the 7th.

Like I said it would have never got to the problem in the 7th if good record keeping practices would have been followed.

I let coaches vent too long when I've made a mistake, but 50 minutes is insane. Run the coach and start playing ball again.

I would also issue the warning at this point. #5 still has to go on my card and that means I'm changing it.

apologies for the confusion, youngump... my ruling is based on the premise that the umpire did enter the change on the line-up sheet (between innings, and before the play in question), but failed to notify the opposing coach.

Your clarification raises an interesting tangential play to my mind.

Lineup is submitted with two players left off; 1 & 2. In the 3rd inning, 1 is entered for 3 and the umpire fails to note that 1 wasn't on the card or to report it. Then in the 5th inning 2 enters for 4 and the umpire correctly warns, enters, and reports. Now in the seventh the defense protests that 1 is illegally in for 3. Would you restrict?

Entering it is for the record. As long as the team reported the sub to the umpire, it counts.
Of course, there is then the warning for the sub not being listed. :rolleyes:

the umpire fails to note that 1 wasn't on the card :eek: :eek: :eek:

or to report it. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Do you mean unreported or illegal for some other reason.
Unreported sub is now in the game, should have been noted as unreported.

The defense can protest an unreported sub as long as they are in the game.
So, yes, restrict and hope they have another sub or #3 can re-enter.
