Only the dregs of society would try to insert Tiger Woods into the final round of a local club golf tournament or A-rod for the final game of the college baseball championship.

When I was a kid there was a rinky-dink local amateru cricket tournament, the final of which took place over 4 separate evenings (one innings per evening). Come the final, one team is going "who's that big Indian guy, never seen him before". Turned out the opposition had pulled in Kapil Dev (certainly one of the best 20 players in the world at that time) as a ringer.

Quite rightly, the team without the ringer simply didn't turn up for the final innings.
