Whether, as an "it's all about my kid parent" you want to accept it or not, there is a top and a bottom on EVERY team. In tight games, the play to win team (YJs Blue & Gold; TG Black, Liberty Black, Elevate Blue, M&D Black, Skywalkers Blue, Heroes) is going to play their best 12, and play to WIN. That's how they build their reputations, by winning.
The 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th player will get in when the top players need a break; the bubble players/bottom 8 or 9 players on that particular team, will probably NOT get in the tight game. Accept it where you daughter sits in the lineup, or move on.
If you want "an everyone plays equal time" team, then ask up front about playing time in TIGHT games and Championship format tournaments. Understand up front how the playing time will be distributed even in the showcase format because make no mistake about it, even though it's not a championship format, the coaches, parents and players all know who wins and WANT TO WIN. Not just the normal run of the mill games. Most of the teams/games that the YJ top two teams play will not be competitive. So those are the games that the coaches will give the bottom 13 players a chance to play.
If you can handle a summer season of that behavior, you will be good. However, If you can't stand to watch it, then leave and don't waste your money (club fees, hotels, gas, tolls, food) or precious time, because time is something you can't get back.
