I recognize that similar language does not appear in the FED rules book. But, I seem to recall similar language being part of some "official" FED communication (POE, seb-site interp, etc.)

There was a complete section of this year's handout where closely guarded was highlighted as a POE.

The FED gave what was needed to start a count and what stops a count. A screening teammate was not mentioned as a count stopper. It would seem that if that stopped a count they would have put it in this POE.
