The IAABO ruling hinges on definition of "team member" ("member of bench personnel who is in uniform and eligible to become a player.") My IAABO interpreter is among those who say that there may not be more players listed in the book than are at the gym site during warmups. This ruling followed a conference call with many IAABO interpreters and eventually found its way into the refresher exam.
I enforced this for exactly one game and then stopped -- in part because other officials I worked with (including many from the same IAABO board) said they would not.
