Don't worry about it. If the BoD decides to supercede the rules of the game; let them tell you what rules to invoke. In fact, require them to tell you if 8 players is alright. The rules require a full nine. IMO . . . once they could not field a full team of nine, the game should have ended. The best you can do is to officiate the game from "Point B"; and let someone else protest.
