What are you guys talking about. Threshers only had 3 fl$ players filling in. The only reason it was fl$ is because many Threshers boys play on the same Cold Spring team. If Threshers wasn't playing Express in that tournament I'm sure you would have seen a couple of those boys playing for Threshers they also have many CSH boys on that team. Every Team switches players nothing new.
Isn't this what we call "cheating"? Yes, it happens, but if it is perfectly ok for non-roster players to just "show up" what does that say about these tournaments and leagues? What does that say about the clubs involved?
Is it ok for A players for a club to show up to B team games and take their playing time? How about older boys showing up to "help out" a younger age group?
And if a team is short players, that shouldn't be your opponent's problem. Stacking your team with ringers makes it their problem. If the team is short, then you play with fewer middie lines or you move attack to middie, etc.
Wins and losses in this "system" are meaningless if there is no consistency and integrity among the teams.
