Shorthanded not OK ... sometimes ...
Shorthanded means 8 players. 7 or fewer is a forfeit. How the team came to the point of having only 8 players is important, however.
If they are shorthanded due to an ejection, they may not continue. They forfeit.
Disqualification is not as serious as ejection, since it is usually a rules infraction, rather than a blatent act on the part of the player (e.g. unreported sub, rather than a flagrant act of unsportsmanlike conduct). For this reason, the team is not allowed to continue if they are short handed due to an ejected player.
