Would you access a 'T'?

And if we do what you suggest than a team would be in violation if a game before went long and no teams submitted the proper information. This is why I think the rules allow for the Referee to make decisions not specifically covered in the rulebook and this is one of them. I agree with you that we probably would not call a T here, just do not agree with the overall logic you are making that conclusion.

Peace

It's not my logic or my local interpretation. It is the actual rule from the rule book. See, I quoted it above.

Most games that follow another game are scheduled to start a certain number of minutes after the conclusion of the previous game (typically 25 or 30 minutes later here).

But the rule is not based on the time on the clock but the scheduled starting time.
