Joel, that case play doesn't definitively mention whether a TO must be granted to keep the player in the game. Case book play 3.3.7SitC discusses blood on a player, and in that case a TO request must be made to keep the player in the game. Note that rule 3-3-7 says that a player with blood on their uni is directed to leave the game, and can only stay in if a TO is granted and the player is ready to go at the end of that TO. Also, the NOTES: (Arts. 6,7) in the rule book also covers a player with blood on their uni, as per rule 3-3-7. And the NOTES also say that a TO must be granted to keep the player in the game if they are directed to leave for injury/blood as outlined in 3-3-6 & 3-3-7.
Iow a granted TO is needed to keep the player with blood on their uni in the game, but
NO 20-second IOT is needed if that TO is granted.
