Express has a 40 man team, which is why they have Haugen Black and Haugen Orange, at any time they can choose to put whoever they want on at any particular time. Stop crying about it. Every kid is a AA player or every kid is an A player. The flexibility is there so that kids can play with many other kids and get the best experience. Big deal you want a T shirt but didnt get it, we are getting the best experience with kids playing at multiple levels.
I get all the things you are saying, but then why enter the one Orange team in a B brackets playing against B teams. I think that's why everyone is crying.
That's not the issue. The orange team belonged in that bracket, as evidenced by the fact they were losing to LILC. The issue is then having kids from the black team playing in the AA bracket jump into the games when the orange team was losing to save face.
Call the coach of the team. Why complain here? Just venting? Tell him directly to his face at a tournament or on the phone if you feel so strongly. Not trying to be a donk here but c'mon.
