Is this normal?

I coach middle school American football and I've seen some pretty awful things that were done, and condoned, on the field just to win a game. I have always tried to teach my players to stay clean and play hard and eventually they will prevail. Last season we won the championship and we played several games with 1 or 2 players less than the other team because of injuries. By the end of our last game, we were playing 8v11 and we were rolling. The thing that made me the proudest was that we stayed clean and never quit.

However, I do believe in this particular case, "gaming the system" is the appropriate thing to do. With such a huge FTA and no random FT, you have to stack the cue just to level the playing field. I don't endorse stacking the cue to the point where you're 30 P1 and 5 P2. Just do it enough to get even. I love this game and the effort that OML puts into it, but FT is broken and you can't blame people for stacking. I'll leave it at that.

stacking beyond a break even number.

Stacking beyond break even or just to level the field, what does that even mean? Did you somehow start the game way behind everyone else? If your only exploiting the flawed system than by not stacking to 35 P1 isn't that wrong? When does it end?
