I just don't see this as a big deal at all. Just another case of people getting all worked up over nothing. You got what you paid for , you weren't slighted in any way. Move on[/QUOTE
thanks for your opinion

"How would you feel"? I think the resounding answer of the folks responding is "we would feel fine". It sounds like it might not have been the answer the OP was looking for, but that is the beauty of sites like this...We all get overly emotional at times, and this site can be a good reality check. Hopefully, when "we" ask questions like in the original post "we" are really looking for honest feedback and not just others to validate our overblown emotional responses to non-issues!
SB4US- Here is a slightly different way of looking at it. What if those 14U teams paid their entry fee and couldn't make the tournament at all on saturday? The TD would have given them each 0-3 records and seeded them into the single elimination bracket on Sunday. The reality is, they did the TD a favor by competing in the older age group on Saturday, so other teams could get their 4 games in. I am sure you feel frustrated because looking around the fields Saturday, you felt you had a shot at winning the tournament. It honestly sounds like the two best 14U teams played in the championship of the 14U division. Your only other recourse is to not play tournaments anymore for this particular TD.
I haven't had an issue with anyones answer except for the ones that were a little judgemental but thanks for your opinion.
Given that NSA wouldn't allow it in championship play I'm surprised no one sees the rule as a big deal. Given the outcome I'm surprised no one questions the ethics of the coaches in playing back down the next day.
