I would push to have the rules adhered to, as they were posted/distributed.
For any exception (like a sub with less than the minimum number of games) a captain's meeting SHOULD be held - but obviously it wasn't.
To MY mind, NO subs should be allowed on Position Rounds. To me it goes against the spirit of what a Position Round is - that is, when your TEAM goes up against the corresponding TEAM in the order. Adding a sub just reeks of ringer-ism, you know?
I absolutely bet that you are NOT trying to bring in a ringer - that really isn't my point. It gives the appearance of it.
In any case - I would push for adherence to the rules. In your case, make sure your sub gets their 12 games - I've done that by hanging around on that league's nights, grabbing sub games where I could until I had the required total.
I would also call a captain's meeting and discuss this. Your published rules NEED to be adhered to and if any exceptions are made, they NEED to be made by vote of the captains. NOT by the league officers. There is a process and it keeps overall buy-in to have the teams' representatives vote on things.
My league is doing this as well - and it's not even the Pres who's doing it, it's our Secretary. Granted, it's typically to give a bit of leeway with makeups and such . . . but things need to be done properly.
