A Bloody Mess ...

returning to competition, unless a time-out is requested by, and granted to,
his/her team and the situation can be corrected by the end of the time-out.

Is the player still bleeding? Is the cotton in her nose considered part of her uniform? Is the wound covered? If the cotton is considered part of the uniform, which it may, or may not, be, is it clean?

My guess? Sit out. Change the cotton. But that's a guess and I'm sure that an esteemed Forum member will be along shortly to confirm, or deny, my interpretation.
