In any other rule set I would answer "no". Never heard of this brand of softball so I googled them..they have a mixture of DP/DEFO/EP/FLEX that I can only describe as "goofy" but it seems to allow multiple FLEXs in the game.
Glad we don't have it.
WTH is a standard DP? Sounds like what other sanctions call Extra Hitter (EH). How do you identify which DP the Flex is associated?No. USFA has removed the DEFO language for this year and now you are left with your typical DP/FLEX in addition to your standard DP's.
I can see how someone knowledgeable about DP/Flex would wonder whether multiple Flex's were allowed..."DP/Flex:
Teams have the option of using EP/DEFO or DP/Flex for the 2014 season. Beginning in 2015 season, the term Designated Player (DP) / Flex will replace Extra Player and Defense Only (EP/DEFO) on the lineup card. Upto 3 DPs are permitted. "
Those are some unique rules, especially allowing the Flex to replace any of the 3 EP/DPs. Is there any significance behind "once" being in quotes?I don't see how...
They might wonder going strictly by the DP/Flex definition you initially provided...
...
Exception: If the DEFO or Flex is used, that player must
remain on defense throughout the game, unless inserted into
the lineup “once” for any of the three EPs or DPs, or replaced
on defense, in which case the DEFO position would be
eliminated for the remainder of the game.
