It'd be fun to watch.  The most I've ever seen is twelve, and
usually only eleven.  They only played for 5 to 10 seconds at
a time, then stood around for a lot longer than that.
 
Perhaps hockey would be more popular if it tried this.  Rather than
change on the fly, just stop the game until the players are rested.

Funny thing...there were about ninety people dressed like players
standing around watching those eleven...Does anyone know why they
insist on being spectators rather than participating?
