There's a link to Cactus Umpires on my eteamz site on the Links page. Once you get to Cactus Umpires, click on the Downloads button and look for the lineup management powerpoint link.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the eteamz site. I'll learn it once I go through it a few times. Thanks again.

That is why the DEFO term was dropped.

But what happens when the 10th player comes in on offense for the DP? :D

Hi, I am new to this form but I just wanted to comment on this thread.

In Softball Canada Rules in Minor ball if you have no subs but have players that are not eligible to play on the bench (been in and out of the line up ect.) they may go in for an injured player to keep the team at 9 players and prevent a forfit (in Canada we have no short handed rules).
In the situation you have here we would ether put in the flex to bat for the DP or take the FLEX out of the game going down to 9 players in the line up, this gives them a player to put in under the injury rule.
thanks.

Exactly, they are no longer DEFO, but now part of the 9-player batting order.
