Suspicious Rule Change, Unpleasant Parents

Wife drove 8 yr old to tournament to play 8v8 tournament. In our first game before it started they changed the rules to play 6v6. They claimed that the State Soccer Association changed the rules before midnight the night before and they had to go 6v6.

Truth of the matter was the home club didn't have enough players for one of their teams for an 8v8 format but they had enough to form a 6v6 team with 2 subs or so. Didn't matter we still won.

Their parents were also very unpleasant. One of the players' grampa spit skoal and said he was going to WHIP our team manager's A**. Real sportsman they were.
