| It's quite simple Sven. Name any sport with 5 or more on a team that allows for a non-suited up player to come in after a player gets hurt. That's what our 4 guys in the subbox are for. You only need 6 to play this game and the US Masters have figured out that 5 works better, Uncle T calls it scoring strength. There is no need to add a rule that could be obused in some perverse way when we already have a set-up which allows for injured players to be replaced. I speak of this from the perspective of getting hit in the cheek, cut open, and taken out of the game for medical reasons during the Master's final in 2004 and having my team play with just 9 for five or 6 minutes while I got glued up to return to the game. I wouldn't have wanted to be replaced in that game and every player on that team knew they had to suck it up for a bit. They still had 3 subs and it was enough.

| rules I was my suggestion last year to allow non playing player to be used in emerg. as you can see from Duck, it got shot down. No then, if it is a 'dressed' issue, then just dress the other two; often they are sort of dressed, geared up, acting as water coach or deck coach. And to answer Duck, uw rugby allows this - naner naner. And my question, name a sport that comes to a game with only required number of players? how many on the bench in basketball? Now everyone is going to say, you don't play Carol, so I'll leave issue alone.. ciao

| All teams have subs, reserves, back-ups, second-string or whatever you want to call them. American Football allows free subbing from play to play, Basketball at breaks in play. Soccer you get a limited number of subs and once you're out you're out, as in baseball. But again, they have players there on the bench at whatever number it is for that sport and no more. Baseball get 25 players, if a pitcher gets hurt they have back-up pitchers they can use. But they can't call up their farm-team midgame and get another player on the squad. It's already in place.
