Blood/sub ?

Nor do I.

Let's say A1 is a little bigger than A2. Team A has a jersey that's too small for A1 but A2 can squeeze into it. I'm going to allow A1 to wear A2's jersey, A2 wear the extra jersey and change the book with no penalty. The intent of the rule is to allow players to play the game. There's no advantage gained, no deception and no disadvantage for Team B.

If that doesn't work for you, A1 and A2 swap jerseys. We change the book for A1. Later, A2 needs to enter the game but he has blood on his jersey and needs to change. Team A finds a spare jersey, A2 puts it on and we change the book. We haven't violated any rule.

Don't be a plumber.
