ending with 8 players(dp/flex)

[Little Jimmy]

I agree with Dakota that some coaches don't make the right decisions. And I also agree with Irish Mafia when he states that ASA speaks of continuing with "one less player". But Fed does not say that(at least that I can see). The only places I see this addressed is Fed 3-3-6 and 4-3-1 g which conflict with each other. Other than ASA as a reference where does Fed stop such a scenario from happening?
