Rule 3.1.1

If a girl arrives late and not on the original LineUp Card, can she be added and participate?

[Dakota]

Yes. 3-3-1.

Not in a men's game and I guess (like ISF/ESF) only if she is dressed in the team uniform

Yes in NFHS; yes in ASA. No in NCAA; must be present at the start of the game to be eligible.

Steve, are you going to make a distinction between "being present" and "being listed on the line up card" in an NCAA game?

Ex: a 2:30 start time, player has an exam starting at 2. She finishes her exam at 2:45 and arrives shortly after, say 2:55. You witness her arrival. She is listed on the pre-printed lineup card. Do you allow her to play that game?

I think the bigger question would be the opposing coach noting that the line-up card did not match the number of players available at game time, witness the player arrive late and then protest the game when that player hits a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to beat that coach's team.

So, do you NCAA guys call roll?

No, and that was my point. NCAA has a more rigid view of the line up card than other organizations (ASA and NF have a much more "fluid" perspective), but of course, there are ways around it. The pre-printed roster allows for everyone to "be there" at the start of the game.

And to answer Mike's question, I am surprised your scenario hasn't happened yet, but I don't think it would hold up under protest, due to her name being on the line up card at the beginning of the game.

Believe me if a college coach sees that a player who could make a difference in the game (one of the other teams usual starters or a pitcher for instance) is not there, they will point it out during the pre-game and get that player's name scratched so they can't play that game.
