On a similar note, our local kids rec league has a rule that if a kid participates in both of their team's practices during the week, then that kid must play at least half of their game on the weekend. Compliance to this is the responsibility of the parents, not the officials. If a coach doesn't comply, that kid's parent can report it to the league Board.

We have a similar policy here, but both the parents and/or opposing coach can lodge the complaint.

Happened last week during an egregious abuse of the policy by one team. The victory was overturned.

Many of our coaches keep rigorous notes as to when they play their players to avoid such embarrassment.

Around here these sorts of local rule issues are turned over to this guy.
