Just remember that "AAU tournaments" are not the same as AAU nationals. At nationals, they follow the NCAA rules. At local, AAU club sponsored tournaments, clubsy modify rules and normally only adopt the FT rules (as well as changing the number/length of TOs, length of half, clock stoppages, etc). Where shot clocks are available and clubs elect to use them, shot clocks will follow NCAA womens rules.
But even in our national qualifiers in the PV region, it is only the medal rounds of the qualifiers that have shot clocks, and other modifications are not explicitly adopted. The powers that be always address the lane line-up/release and the shot clock/closely guarded rules.
Bottom line, if doing an "AAU tournament," refer to the modifications for that tournament, which are usually provided to the scorer's table. As for seatbelts and boxes, if they don't say they are doing NF rules, I would probably let it go. It isn't an argument you need to have.
