This is not what the rule means. If I am team A and am reduced to 1 player with a 1 point lead with 5 minutes left, do I have a chance to win?

Your situation is interesting, but I still, as the referee, have TOTAL discretion when it comes to ending this game and awarding a forfeit.

I've never, since starting officiating FED games in 1987, have had fewer than 4 on the court. I'll let you know what I do should I get down to 1, though.

The only way a team should be able to have a lead with one player left is if multiple players are ejected simultaneously due to a fight. If a team goes through "attrition" down to 1 player and still has the lead, the other team must really, well.....
