Way Too Many "Players" Warming Up

[Ignats75]

Rule 4 Section 34 Art. 2... Bench personnel are all individuals who are part of or affiliated with a team, including, but not limited to: substitutes, coaches, manager(s) and statistician(s). During an intermission, all team members are bench personnel.

I would contend that players in similar uniforms, warming up with team members, are affiliated with a team. If they retreat to the stands to watch the game, they are no longer affiliated with the team.

That interpretation would be covered under Rule 2 Section 3 Article 1
