Substitution procedure

[Tony.oe4]

I can only share what my friend, the R2 told me. Both subs were in correct position (substitution zone) when he recognized them and reported the substitution to the table. When he beckoned the player onto the court, she was a back row player to stepped onto the court across the attack line to get to the back row instead of taking a step forward on the the court and then turning toward the back row. The R2 told me he was fine with this and the R1 stepped in and made the delay call from the stand. The player entering did not run up the sideline or anything like that. She literally stepped diagonally form the substitution zone onto the court instead of straight and then to the back court. With all this being said, I still cannot find anything written that says a substitute must enter the court between the attack line and center line.

I also agree with you in that this forum seems to be very slow. That is why I have posted several things the last few weeks.
