Reporting is done so the table reads the numbers the same way they read printed text, left to right. So officials use right hand for tens value and left hand for ones value.

I didn't know there was going to be any math on the Forum today. May I be excused?

It would take awhile to get used to it. As long as they don't let NBA numbers become legal. Of course, the Fed has about 3 years to fiddle with the compression sleeve rule before declaring them legal and having them conform to headband colors. So, it might be a waiting game.

Definitely not a natural process for me yet (kinda like sprinting backwards ) the times I've played around with it during college rule rec or intramural games. I still have to put thought into which number goes on which hand.
