See my last 2 posts.

Also, clarification/adjustment of these rules might be needed (in the book); but allowing multiple ejections without subs, essentially shorthanded, is not.
The shorthanded rule has always excluded ejections; because they reflect serious situations. Shorthanded was invented to avoid small roster teams forfeiting for injuries or family emergencies.
