Even by the strictest rules, this would be a single T for adding a player to the roster (okay, and possibly a T for changing the jersey in the gym area). But the opposing coach and the refs might let you get away without that, if they're feeling very "summer league" minded.

That's not so far off, as the injured player's twin brother was driven 50 miles to suit up for us the next day.
(Fraternal twins. A much better story, I know, if they are identical, and if the brother happened to be in the stands for the first game.)
Thanks for the friendly and informative responses. Even the opposing coach was closer to correct than I was. The young crew was right on the money -- with more experience they'll probably project more certainty about it.
