Question Replacing players during a game

Replacing players during a game.

A proposal done not long ago by a international tournament.
The same tournament where there is decided about the fiber fins.

To replays players that are hurt by a opponent to a level that they can no longer play. (on purpose or by accident)
I think it’s a good thing when it is possible. But that proposal is thrown away that time (why?)
Now its still rewarding to hurt/hit opponents unseen out off the game and so make the numbers
Side subbing players by the opponent smaller. Take that reward away and there is no reason to hurt an opponent
to that level to get an advanced because they miss a side subbing player or more.

Everybody here want more fair play (I think) Why not discuss that? Why thrown that proposal away?
I does happen during games. In all countries. And the reffs can not see something happening behind them.
(I forgot the country that did do that proposal? Does anybody now?)

Before somebody ask. No my teams does not play that way On purpose. (but an accident can happen always)
But we did have games were opponents did hurt players on that level unseen.
And most times we have replacement players with us because most times we must play more then 1 game.
But for that game we must play with a player less. So the opponent is rewarded by doing that unseen. Or by accident.
The result is the same. 1 player or even more less in the game.

So question
1: Why don’t have a rule that can replace those hurt players? (it can also happen in an accident!)
2: Why in the first place is that proposal thrown away?
3. What country did made that proposal?

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.

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.
