[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was the A team playing in the tournament? If not, then I don't see how it would be illegal, and I don't see why it would be bad sportsmanship to add one kid to the roster.  Tournaments are a great time to experiment with different formations and lineups, and the spring is when clubs start making assessments about which kids should be moved up or down. If one of the B team players had to sit the whole tournament or lost significant playing time due to the guest player, that's uncool though. [/quote]

Did you even read the thread?
One of the best players from the A team...this obviously wasn't about assessments, it was about winning.
And obviously, if there's an A team player playing all game, it means at least one B teamer lost out. [/quote]

What?!?!? Playing a tournament to win?!?!?!?! That is crazy![/quote]

Well maybe someone with some knowledge about the rating system can chime in. I think it help the clubs over all rating. The more winning teams up and down the age group the higher the rating for the club?[/quote]

There is no "club rating". There are however "GotSoccer points" but those are tied to the actual team and not the club based on tournament performance. These points are intended to be used for Tournament seeding purposes in order to have competitive and balanced brackets. The higher the poitns, the higher the rank the better the bracket for a tournament.

Ultimately there is no real advantage to chasing the points for "B" teams as at a certain point they will still never be placed in the same bracket as their A team counterpart.
