The opportunity to bring in a sub is still there.

When I do sound the warning horn earlier than normal, due to one team being ready to play, the time remaining is normally 10 or more secs. until the warning horn (although I said in earlier post & example within 5 secs.), there is still time being allowed for subs.

No, there is NOT time being allowed for subs. If you allow a sub after the horn, you're going directly against the rules. The sub has to be there BEFORE you sound the warning signal. Says so right in rule 3-3-1(a). Also see case book play 3.3.1Sit A that says any and all substititions MUST be made before the warning signal is given. Case book plays 3.3.1SitB&C tell you the exact same thing.

You're making up your own rules, chseagle, not following the ones you've been given. Out here, we hang timers for sumthin' like that.
