suppose varsity players are involved but since anyone can participate you cant tell who is from which team and who are players instead of fans

now suppose a clown decides to dunk

how do you differentiate who is player, what team, if any and try to enforce the notion of if they are on the floor during halftime they are affiliated with a specific team
This is a good discussion. I'd rule here that the halftime "exhibition" is not a part of the warm-ups, so no penalty.
However, if the JV team is engaged in pre-game warm ups and a varsity player joins them, I'd rule him as a member of that squad, and take care of business as needed.
I am very wary of calling pre game technicals, however, and would only do so if it was obviously egregious.
