Well, not that my opinion matters to any of those associations, but I'm in the camp of 0 and 00 being "different numbers".
We're not adding these numbers up. "Values" of the numbers are inconsequential.

Just a guess, but there could be some ramifications with all of the electronic score keeping and stats systems with using 0 for one player and 00 for another....

For many years the NFHS and NCAA considered 0 and 00 as different numbers for manyou of its sports. But with the development of software for keeping the scorebook and statistics the softwarend could not differentiate between 0 and 00, therefore, the rule change.

Personally, I really doubt that is the reason. Rather, I believe that "justification" is an after-the-fact excuse to obfuscate the truth.

IMO, it's poorly written software then. The player number should be a string not an integer. You don't add or subtract or perform other calculations with the digits. They have no numeric value...they are just symbols.

And addressing Alton, I would agree that even it should not that difficult to write code that differentiated between the two numbers. MTD, Sr.
