Sting Manager AND TX Spirit manager would know, and yes, CPP was used...  it's interesting to think just a player or two could swing a game from a huge loss to an unprobable win...  Got a great look at why this Sting team is so dangerous though - one player that can run like the wind, I'm talking a whole new gear of speed.  A ball over the top and no one will catch this kid...  they might have won had she not missed the goal both times she shot at it...  So CPP or not, she missed the goal meaning they probably could have won had she actually gotten the ball down a few inches on both shots...  I wouldn't blame this loss on the CPP, just a couple errant shots on goal.

Oh, and nothing wrong with using CPP, it's been sanctioned by LHGCL and is completely legal and "approved" - so I don't see the problem...  We had a short roster and had to do something and that's exactly what the CPP is for...

But, Sting did miss some shots.  It happens.  Good competition, just a stinky way to lose in league.

So - 2 girls were out, but they "needed" 3 CPP in order to field a team to play   only sub for the missing girls win.

Looks like Texas Spirit doesn't play until Sunday this weekend, while Texas Spirit Red plays on Saturday.  Wonder if we will see at least 1 CPP since Red has an open roster position.

But lets be honest here - Texas Spirit Red was in 7th in D3.  They need all the points they can get in order to avoid requalification next summer.

Yes, there will be two Red players on the TXS 04 roster on Sunday I'm sure...  and agreed, Red needs all the points they can get as does any team that doesn't want to requalify next summer.  There's a lot of soccer left before next summer rolls around and a lot of opportunities for teams to use the CPP - just sucks that we seem to have been the first team to use it and will now be ridiculed until the next team uses it.

Well, since we were the first to apparently use the CPP rule, I doubt anyone from TXSR will complain or whine about the Big Club affects of CPP.  Interestingly enough, I have no real opinion on whether it's good or bad since this is my first DD to come through the land of Select soccer so I have nothing to compare it to.   However, if it went away tomorrow, not sure anyone would notice or care since our team was the only one to use it so far.
