Rewording it for you: Not the weekend to play all 30 kids just because their mom brought them to practice on time. Play the best kids (on the submitted roster) who show up for the playoff games. Whether they are fly-ins or not.

Youth lax is not a meritocracy or even a HWPO-ocracy. If your sons team rostered a 6'4" double holdback who just got out of juvie last week and has an 88mph shot...guess who's starting.
