Note: IAABO mechanics no longer have us doing Article 1 (notifying the captains when play is about to begin at the start of the game). We just tell everybody that we're ready to go an it's off to the races. No real need to identify a speaking captain, or a starting captain, or asking for numbers under a warm-up jersey, and remembering said numbers. If a player asks for a defensive matchup (3-3-1-E), I'll just assume it's a captain.
