Question
whats the asa rule for re-entry? we had a runner who wasnt in the game, ran for a guy and put the player we ran for back in the game. the next innging we had another who wasnt in the game run for a different player who got on base and the ump told us we only had 1 re-entry per game. is that correct or does every starter have a re-entry?? thanks

Answer
Hi John,

A starter and their sub can each re-enter once.  #1 starts, #2 subs for 1, 1 now re-enters for 2. 2 re-enters for 1, 1 is now out of the game.

if you have 20 players you could do it for each player 1-10 in the batting order.

I have no idea what the umpire was talking about.
