Wrong Number - NFHS

[whiskers_ump]

Saw this tonight and made me look in the book (NFHS), where
I found no rule for it, but found a citing in the case book. Most
associations cover it up front and in the rule book.(ASA4.1.1a.)
If a player is listed under one number but actually wearing another,
correct it and continue. I honestly would have done that anyway, but
I looked, because I knew I had never seen it covered in the rule book.

NFHS has no such written rule per say in the Rule Book , only the
Case Book. (Most of these guys never get the Case Book)
(I know, their bad)

Case book 3.1.3
Says that a player has technically violated the rule that requires
that player's name, shirt number, and position be on the lineup card,
but that there is no penalty since the BOOO rule requires only that the
name be in the proper order.

Second batter of the 4th inning (#11)doubles and drives in a runner. The
defensive coach calls times and appeals to the PU that the batter standing
on 2nd is BOO. Blue checks his lineup card and sees that number 3 is
listed as following number 2, the first batter of the inning. He
and his partner call the batter (runner now on 2nd) out. Allow the run,
and place number 6 (who follows number 3(11)) at bat. Hmmmm.
However, the team that took the out, won the game, 17-6.

If you have the wrong number but the right name, just correct and continue.
Remember, Fed rules are skewed to participation.

Don't make it too complicated.

I agree Scott, and that is what I would have done.

I hate the rules where we penalize the player for a coach's error.
(i.e.) Illegal player in the game. The player did not just go into
the game. Coach sent her.

Thats one LL rule I like 3.08 :If no announcement of a sub is made, the sub shall be considered to have entered the game when (3)if a fielder, the sub reaches the position usually occupied by the fielder being replaced and play commences. Brian

Actually had this a few years back. Visting team player's number didn't agree with the lineup card, so we appealed. Our umpire basically said the same thing, just change the number and play on, and that was fine and dandy with us.
