Seems hard to trust someone for the travel expense if you don't know them.
And I (I mean my friend) clearly understand that it depends how good the pitcher is.
In theory the guest player is either total stud or fodder. Fodder gets used early in pool play to save the studs, stud gets reserved for bracket play. Either way one game 4-6 innings is likely.
In the bigger tournaments, you have to win your bracket to advance so you can't always save your studs.
I think your friend can expect one complete game or pitch count max...obviously, assuming that he's dealing. The other option is going a couple, your team grabs a big lead and they pull him to pitch later in the tournament.
Good point. Most PG tourneys call it pool play but only one team advances out of the pool.
I meant win your pool to advance to bracket. Good catch!
