And this (below) is what's bugging me:

IAABO Refresher Exam 2005: Question 73. Squad member #45 missed the bus and is not present at the time the squad list and starting lineup must be submitted for team members. During the pregame warmup, the referee counts eleven team members of team A but while checking the book team A has twelve team members listed. Referee informs the coach that the squad member who is not present may not be placed in the book even if he/she will get to the game late. Is the referee correct? Answer: Yes Rule Citation: Rule 3, Section 2, Article 1; Rule 4, Section 34, Article 4

And, even though we allowed the names to be written in the book, I'm still going to sleep well again tonight. Like a baby.

I will not even ask other than to make sure that they have everyone listed that may play. I do not even get a coach that crosses off names of players that are injured the might have not have made the bus. Why would I care to know a player might not play?

Do not complicate the issue.

I do work IAABO, and I now recall this horrid and useless interp from IAABO. Frankly, this is another one of those IAABO interps that makes me question their sanity.

Another one is the one Billy posted about the contact on the FT shooter being ignored unless it's flagrant or intentional.
