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

I believe it's in the coaches handbook, that is illegal.

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.sihT etupmoC wrote:If it's the same school, and both teams have 15 people no more, than it's legal.
