Reads as reasonable to me. Considering how slowly many youth players wake up to being subbed for, then even if the league was supposedly following Fed rules, some of the officials may have a mental reservation about enforcing "immediate" substitution with children, else they'd have IS violations galore, and was enforcing only IP in such cases. If hawkishowl's teams were better at executing substitution than other teams in their league, he may not have realized officials were allowing extra players to leave up until the moment the ball was put in play. Just a guess.
