And just to muddy the waters, I believe that in the NCAA, if A1 and B1 are both directed to leave and then Team A calls a TO, B1 can return to the game if s/he is ready to play by the end of Team A's TO.
I don't think the NCAA requires that player's team to request the TO. AR-13 and AR-14 on page 54 of the '04 rulebook seem to be in direct contradiction. There was a question on the test last year. And since the AR's were confusing, I gave the FED answer and got it wrong.
I believe that any player directed to leave the game (for blood or injury) is allowed to stay in the game if s/he is ready to play at the end of a TO, regardless of which team requested it.
If anybody has better information, I would love to hear it.
