a. YesThank you TMIB/YFNU - b/c I was also misinterpreting F1 as "Flex 1", and not the position #.
Not necessarily related to the DP/Flex, but "AP" is also used on the lineup cards for "Additional Player" when batting more than 9.
Back to DP/Flex - I initially thought these two previous posts conflicted with each other [my emphasis]:
Are the following statements accurate then?
a. If you substitute the DP for the P at the plate meeting, the DP now becomes the P of record, and can have a CR in the top of the 1st.
b. The plate meeting requirement is only needed when you're visitors, b/c once the game has started, reporting the substitution (DP-->P) before the DP comes to bat does not make her the P of record (and therefore is ineligible for a CR).
c. This strategy is most suitable when you have a solid starting 9, but may need to insert a weaker hitting sub later in the game.
b. Can't quite figure out what you mean, but if the intention if for the DP to enter on defense in the 1st inning it should be noted as a change to the lineup in the plate meeting regardless home/visitor.
c.Yes, in my view.
