Illegal numbers
When was the last time you arived at the gym and noticed that one team had numerous numbers with digits over 5? A quick look and you begin to suspect the team is simply thrilled that someone provided some jerseys. (Granted, this is not a HS varsity game.) The numbers look fine to me!
A couple of weeks ago I arrived for a 7/8 grade doubleheader. The home coach explained that he had a problem; the visiting school only had one team. He wanted to combine his 7th and 8th grade girls so that all could play, but that would mean duplicate numbers. I asked him to swap jerseys or whatever to give us a 22-blond and 22-brunette or whatever. (Turns out he had to keep the book while coaching and saw for himself every foul but one or two. Usually before we could report he had already recorded a foul on "Susan" or whomever.)
It really is a game.
