Yup. This is a “check your local listings” kind of thing.
I worked in Rhode Island last year and there was a poor urban startup school that ordered uniforms with illegal numbers. The RIIL stepped in and asked officials not to penalize it for their first season in order to allow them time to raise some new funds to correct their mistake.
Moved back to Virginia this year and encountered a charter school in a similar predicament. Only there was no league or state guidance this time around. Compounding this, the HC up and quit a week before and the interim HC was in over his head. We noticed the illegal numbers as they took their warmups off (my R partner should have noticed when he checked the book but didn’t), but no team member had yet participated, so knowing that applying 10-6 would result in the coach being seatbelted, we all got creative. Long story short, about four minutes later #17 checked in as #10 (they tape-jobbed the numeral), we looked at the coach and he said with a smile, “I know, go ahead and get it over with.” So we changed the number in the book, assessed the Admin T under 10-1, and the coach didn’t have to sit. Life went on and everyone was satisfied. HC also had a #7 who never participated. Could have changed that number too without penalty because of the one-T maximum.
