[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some tournaments - Discovery Cup, for example - don't allow a player to guest play for another team if the team to which s/he is officially rostered is playing in that tournament. So if both the A and B team are playing in a tournament, an A team player can't guest for the B team (or vice versa). I've never seen a rule that explicitly prohibits a "higher" team player from guest playing for a "lower" team. There are almost always rules that limit the number of guest players to 3-5 which I suppose helps prevent the scenario where all or most of a team is displaced by ringers.

Sometimes a sub/bench player from a top team will guest play with the second team to give them more minutes and a leadership role. [quote]I've never heard of a club guest-playing their best player to help a second team win[/quote]. That seems like poor sportsmanship IMO, but probably not "illegal." I think the second team player who gets displaced by this guest player is the one who should be most pissed off. [/quote]

I guess you've never played FCV.  There top players always play on the 2nd team to help them win.  I heard they were disqualified from a tournament last year for it.[/quote]

A team players can play on the B team in tournaments. Only one thing would prevent this:
1. Actually being dual rostered within the tournament when both teams are in the same tournament.

yes. dual rostered.  that's what they did.  that's why they were disqualified.
