CR for DP/Flex

[EsqUmp]

Umpire: Visiting Coach, your line-up is official. Do you have any changes?

Coach: Yes, I'm dropping the Flex who was my pitcher. My player listed as the DP will now play offense and defense. She is my pitcher now.

what is there to discuss, the DP is now the pitcher on the line-up card and is afforded a CR.

BTW AFA the thread goes, in ASA, I can find no indication that any player is ever required to pitch in any circumstance.

Agree...and the reason that it's important for all us to be more diligent in clarifying the rule set we're referencing when we're posting. It makes it confusing in trying to determine the correct ruling for the sitch in the OP.

That was a question on the ASA test this year. I spent a half hour in the book trying to prove/dis-prove it. Found no reference. For NFHS, yes, but not ASA.

ASA has no such requirement it is a myth.
