How are substitutions documented in NFHS baseball?

• A. Substitutions are documented verbally during the game.
• B. Substitutions are recorded in the official lineup and scorebook with entry/exit times.
• C. Substitutions are recorded in a separate notebook.
• D. Substitutions do not require documentation.

Answer: (B)

Substitutions must be recorded in the official lineup and scorebook with entry/exit times. This creates an accurate, auditable record of who enters and leaves the game, which helps enforce substitution and re-entry rules and keeps the batting order and defensive positions straight. The lineup is the official game roster, and the scorebook logs each substitution as it happens, including the exact times, so officials and scorers can verify legality. Verbal notes alone aren’t reliable for documenting substitutions, and a separate notebook isn’t the standard method used in NFHS baseball.
