My understanding is you can't start the game with six!

Just to mention it, the same applies to Fed: the ball is first live when it leaves the Referee's hands. So if the same thing happened in a Fed game, and a coach wanted to start 6 Seniors, the U would follow the same mechanic in NV's post.
Personally, I think this is a valid way to honour Seniors. Good call by Knight.
