1) There is nothing in the rules that forbids a warm-up period after a delay either. That's up to the official's judgement. "Confidence in rules knowledge" applies equally well to both sides of this argument.
2) Confidence to run the game as
who intended? As
you intended? Rotationslim's opinion is just as valid as your's and Rut's on this one. You're representing your opinion as being fact. It isn't. Neither can Rut's or rotationslim's opinion be considered as fact either. All of you are just arguing your own opinions. It's simply up to the official on the spot to make the decision as best as he can. No more- no less.
