Cameron - Interesting. That's really the first viable explanation I've heard. But, I'll have to keep an eye out to see if I see more 8s and 9s than 72's and 67's.

I know I have a league that only has numbers on the front for this reason. Pain in the butt to try and find a number sometime. But, they have a running clock, so, it's not that big a deal to ask them to turn around.
