Bob,

I found the thread - Jan. of 2013 - and below is your post:

Neither (to have on the roster), or if only one plays.

Illegal (if they both play).

The fact that there's a penalty means that they aren't alowed.

You might as well ask" can a player run with the ball?"

No, it's not allowed.

Well, of course the player can -- but there's a penalty involved.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Some things aren't allowed, period (jewelry, illegal undershirts).

Some are not allowed without penalty.

I thought the zeros were in the first category.

Bob,

I do understand your point and that is why I did ask for a clarification. I spent two weeks discussing the clearly written portion of the rule - 0 and 00 are not allowed - with a rules guy a couple of seasons ago. Because the rule states "shall not", he thought there was no need to visit the penalty section. And, he insisted because the rule was so clearly written, there was no need for an interpretation at all.

I do admit that 2008/09 interp is a little contradictory to me.
