DP/FLEX case 120516a - Page 3

Those are the only two possible things a coach can legally do with the FLEX/DP so make sure you have perfect clarity on which they want, and if necessary be ready to explain what that change does to their ability to re-enter later.

If the coach wants to switch the DP for the Flex, is that a substitution ? If the DP gets on base can they switch DP & Flex ? is that a substitution ? I know that I am doing something that I hate but I need to know "What If" I want to cover all situations and be able to explain (short and to the point) professionally.

I utilize EA's lineup card management system.....it helps me keep straight what the coach can or cannot legally do regarding the use of his DP/Flex.

Absolutely, it is the easiest to use and easiest to understand.

Ask yourself this question: Is the Flex playing offense for the DP? If yes, then the DP is out of the game and it takes a re-entry to get her back in.

On the flip side: Is the DP playing defense for the Flex? If yes, then the Flex is out of the game and it takes a re-entry to get her back in.

Any player (CRs excepted; they're not considered in the game) who has been in the game and is now out has been substituted for.

OK?

you can find that at the cactusumpire site - Welcome to Cactus Umpires - if it's up. It was down to have some maint work done for a while.
