We all know the written ASA rule and I'm not sure why you keep restating it.
NUS and my UIC will allow benching. I'm sure you know NUS allows benching in practice for girls, because they have said it in every clinic where I have heard it brought up. In fact, in my area they are even trying to put it in the bylaws (something I vehemently oppose and will be voting and have argued against).
There are times when the black and white written rule is not what is exactly taught at clinics or whats done in practice, and ejection/leave the park vs benching a minor is one of them.
