one of the protest commmittee people said when the defo went in to bat, that is not considered a re entry and thus the defo still has his one re entry left and the dp when he went back in after the defo bat for him then that was his one re entry.

dp/defo rule and the way it is written haass to be changed.

Let me see how this works.

You ask a question. Get an answer from one of the umpires who is very well acquainted with the DP rule and then you want to argue the point. Is that the way it works?

Trust me, I would love to see the DP rule dumped all together. However, since that isn't going to happen, the rule is just fine.

If anything needs to happen is that the players and coaches start READING the rules and, if necessary, attend a few clinics so they can understand it. Just because you and your coach are not capable of understanding a rule doesn't make it wrong.

Your problem occured, and Steve will correct me if I'm wrong, when you left the game when the DP entered to pitch. If you stay on the field in another defensive position, you haven't left the game. However, since you did leave the game that means you were playing offense only and that is not allowed.
