There is NO rule set that allows the FLEX to bat as the FLEX.
AFAIK, all DP/FLEX rules are the same.

There is at least one rule set that allows an AP to bat anywhere in the lineup, in an EP/EH matter; but they have no connection to the DP that goes with the FLEX.

DP is the #1 batter in the order. FLEX is, of course, listed as #10. What if FLEX comes to bat after B9, gets a hit, and before DP (who is on-deck) comes to bat, the defense appeals BOO? :D
Not BOO. If they appeal illegal batter or whatever term applies, ok.

How would you know FLEX batted in the #10 spot, or she batted for the DP in the #1 spot? The fact that the DP is in the on-deck circle is immaterial, is it not? At the time of the appeal, this could be nothing more than an unannounced substitution of the DP. Until the DP physically occupies the batter's box, her status is unknown.

Or is that not true?

If DP bats, the FLEX batted as #10, illegal.
If DP does not bat, the FLEX batted in the DP spot.
Either way, not BOO.

Sure, but until DP does something - we have Schroedinger's Cat.

Since the appeal was made before DP takes her position in the batter's box, DP does has not batted before a ruling needs to be made.

Bazinga! :D
