Originally posted by Forksref 3.3.1 provides only that a team consists of 5 players and that 5 must start the game. No penalty is provided for not continuing with 5 after the game starts. In order to create a penalty situation, the official must find something else to apply here. It appears as if the "travesty" rule is the rule of choice. However, travesty is very subjective and in the eye of the beholder. If anyone can find a penalty for 3.1.1, please provide it.
