ASA Test Question 11 (JO FP)

[NCASAUmp]

Okay, don't kill the recent FP convert here.

11. The DP draws a walk and the FLEX, who is the pitcher, is entered to run for the DP. The coach then asks the umpire to enter a Courtesy Runner for the FLEX who is now on first base. The umpire informs the coach that this is not possible because the FLEX did not bat for themselves.

I have this one as false, because there is no stipulation that the FLEX must bat for themselves in order to get a courtesy runner. To me, this would be legal, as the pitcher (the FLEX) is now in the game on offense, and is eligible to have a courtesy runner on base. The DP has now left the game, and the offense is down to 9 players in the line-up.

Correct?
