ART. 1

A player shall not:

Participate after changing his/her number without reporting it to the scorer and an official.

PENALTY: (Art. 1) Flagrant foul. Penalized if discovered while being violated.

Keep in mind that NFHS rules means that by applying a flagrant foul the kids are now ejected from that game and will lose the next game at that level. Unless you think that they were trying to be deceitful in some way IMO this would be a situation where prevenative officiating might be helpful. It's a harsh penality to eject 2 kids for 1 and a half games to a possible book keeping/clerical error. I've never been in this spot, that's a tough call for sure.

Nothing in the NFHS rules affect the eligibility of a player for a game other than the one currently being played. The state association may be a different story.

Sorry, Pennsylvania (PIAA) State adoption. Any player ejected from a game is gone for the remainder of that game, and must sit the next game also.
