Are you sure it's legal? At our Regionals, they don't let people do that.

no its not...at least i'm pretty sure its not, i don't think you can have a person on two different teams at the same competition...at least its not allowed here

If it's the same school, and both teams have 15 people no more, than it's legal. Is a kid, teenager, whatever really going to argue against my coach?

I believe it's in the coaches handbook, that is illegal. Your teams should have been DQ'd

No, it's legal. I can even email a national official if I have to.
Hm..lets see..California, Ohio. Totally different states with totally different rules.
Serious?
IT IS LEGAL.

You weren't on the official team list for the B team (which would have been submitted long before the person got sick) so you shouldn't have been allowed to compete for that team. Unless you guys don't have to submit official team lists, it isn't legal.
