Don't be ridiculous, Mick. We can't carry slide rules onto the court to convert the fraction to decimals.
Everyone knows, though, that the fraction should be converted to the lowest common denominator - 11/8

But 8 isn't a legal number.

OK...22/16, to keep it legal.

16?

I saw that too, but then I saw the winky face. Ya' gotta watch for those subtle things.
I remember an old Bob Jenkins post where we were having a discussion about numbers and he asked, kind of tongue-in-cheek, if there really were any "illegal" numbers. His point was that by using that terminology, we were kind of escalating the importance of what is just a game.
I agree with Bob. If you think about it, using the terms "legal" and "illegal" is kind of over the back, er, I mean, over the top.
