Please help.  I've been out of the HS game for 6 years, and am possibly ignorant to a rule.

Sitch:

Player is ejected in the 3rd inning.  Coach has no subs on the bench.

Camp 1 -- Automatic out for the remainder of the game each time the ejected player's spot comes up.

Camp 2 -- Automatic out only once ... the "next" time that player's spot comes up.

 

Is Camp 2 dreaming this up, or has there been a rule change since 2018?

No change. You've still got it. Welcome back.

NFHS 4-3 ART. 1 . . . A game shall be forfeited to the offended team by the umpire when a team :

  1. is late in appearing or in beginning play after the umpire calls "Play." State associations are authorized to specify the time frame and/or circumstance before a forfeit will be declared for a late arrival by one of the teams; or

  2. refuses to continue play after the game has started; or

  3. delays more than a reasonable amount of time in resuming play, or in not

    obeying the umpire ' s order to remove a player for violation of the rules ; or

  4. persists in tactics designed to delay or shorten the game; or

  5. willfully and persistently violates any of the rules after being warned by the

    umpire; or

  6. is unable to provide at least nine players to start the game or cannot provide

    eight players to finish the game; or

    NOTES:
    1. An out will be called each time that spot in the batting order comes to bat. If the

    offensive player must be substituted for after reaching base, the most recent bat-

    ter not on base is allowed to run for that player.

Worked with a rookie yesterday . . . I'm betting that Camp 2 crowd is the same one that taught my Rookie that the DH could only bat three times, and then the player he was hitting for had to bat for himself after that.

I have no clue.  No clue whatsoever.
