If I have a game with non-standard numbers, I use the FIBA approach to signal those numbers. Lacrosse solves this by signalling numbers from 6-9 sideways (6 is 1 finger pointing sideways, 7 is 2 fingers pointing sideways, all the way up to 9 (4 fingers pointing sideways)) and having one hand represent one digit. Volleyball is similar to FIBA in that officials show first one digit then the next, except volleyball officials do not turn their hand when going from the tens digit to the ones ... Numbers under 10 are signaled with the hand(s) facing forwards. 10 is signaled with two open hands, and numbers from 11 to 15 are signaled with a fist on the right hand, and 1 to 5 fingers showing on the left hand.
My head hurts.
