[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well there are "super teams" made up of recruited players from various clubs that only play together in tournaments vs being a regular team that has a season with games and then some tournaments.  One in particular is based out of the Soccerplex.  In our tournament, the way the playoffs worked out, we played a team in team in the playoff qualifier only to then play them again in the finals of the playoffs.  Same coach, supposedly same team, but we all noticed that the starters were not the same kids from the day before.  Coach made zero substitutions.  They beat us 5-1.  These were not the kids that were playing in the tournament.  They brought in 6 guest players just for the finals.  this was U9.  Disgusting.[/quote]

Why is that disgusting?[/quote]

Because the group of kids who were the original team were responsible for the team advancing to the finals.  They played and won those games. And then in the finals, to bench those kids and bring in an entire new set of kids to guarantee the win, well that not only is disgusting, it's unethical and cheating.  [/quote]

It’s not cheating if they were allowed to roster 6 guest players. It is sad for the kids who had to sit out while they were replaced by better starters. It is frustrating for the losing team to see new better players. Don’t call it cheating unless it was a clear violation of the rules.[/quote]

You can put all the liptstick you want on a pig, it's still a pig.[/quote]
