    What does the rules say about, if during a point teams notice that there is too many/ too few players? Or after a score? This is very obvious in mixed.

    This is covered in B1.5. of the Appendix:

    If a point has commenced and a team does not have exactly seven (7) people playing the point, or is in violation of A7.1, then the opposition may call a violation and play shall stop, or the offending team may call a time-out.

    If a violation of B1.5 is called after a goal has been scored and prior to the ensuing
    pull, the opposition may choose to nullify the goal and restart the point.

    And if there is no timeouts left?

    Then the opposition may call a violation, as Rueben said above.

    So if TeamA notices that they have 8 players in during the point, they will loose timeout if they want to stop the point and correct the amount. All too tempting to stay silent.

    I will quote the same line as Ruben here:

    If a point has commenced and a team does not have exactly seven (7) people playing the point, or is in violation of A7.1, then the opposition may call a violation and play shall stop, or the offending team may call a time-out.

    The opposition can always call a violation for this. I agree that this may not seem soft as there is no penalty for the offending team, but the rules state that “no one will break the rules on purpose”.

    So if the offending team dont have any tmeouts, they can not make the Call. This is problematic because if they have started with only 6 player , they can not stop the point if they have not any timeouts.
    Also if both teams have wrong number ( 8 )? And it is nociced after score!
    And also if TeamA is playing with 7 and they are O, but TeamB have 8 and D. TeamA make a pass which is blocked/dropped lets say scorepass, then make the Violation-call. So how the play shall restart?

    Rulecomittee may rethink the rule.
