Problem 4

A soccer team has $22$ available players. A fixed set of $11$ players starts the game, while the other $11$ are available as substitutes. During the game, the coach may make as many as $3$ substitutions, where any one of the $11$ players in the game is replaced by one of the substitutes. No player removed from the game may reenter the game, although a substitute entering the game may be replaced later. No two substitutions can happen at the same time. The players involved and the order of the substitutions matter. Let $n$ be the number of ways the coach can make substitutions during the game (including the possibility of making no substitutions). Find the remainder when $n$ is divided by $1000$.

Solution 1 (Recursion)

There can be 0-3 substitutions. The number of ways for one number of subs must also be multiplied by the number of ways for the previous. This can be defined recursively. The case for 0 subs is just 1, and the number of ways to reorganize a team after $n$ subs is the produce of the possible new subs $12-n$ and the number of players that can be ejected $11$. The formula for $n$ subs is then $a_n=11(12-n)a_{n-1}$ with $a_0=1$.

Summing from 0 to 3 gives $1+11^2+11^{3}10+11^{4}10\cdot9$. Notice that $10+9\cdot11\cdot10=1000$. Then, rearrange it into $1+11^2+11^3(10+11\cdot9)=1+11^2+11^3(1000)$. In the context of the problem, the last term goes away when taking modulo 1000, so the answer is $1+11^2=\boxed{122}$

Solution 2 (Casework)

We can perform casework. Call the substitution area the "bench". Case 1: No substitutions. 1.

Case 2: One substitution. Choose one player on the field to sub out, and one player on the bench = 11 * 11 = 121.

Case 3: Two substitutions. Choose one player on the field to sub out, and one player on the bench = 11 * 11 so far. Now choose one player on the field to sub out, and one player on the bench that was not the original player subbed out = * 11 * 10 = 13310 = 310.

Case 4: Three substitutions. Using similar logic as with Case 3 we get (11 * 11) * (11 * 10) * (11 * 9) which ends in 690, so the answer is 1 + 121 + 1000 = $\boxed{122}$.
