The first year it was a nightmare to pin all those numbers on before each race. I would have to figure out if they were wearing their long or short sleeved jerseys then pin all those numbers. 10 kids numbers X 8 pins is 80 pinnings This was very time consuming. And we race the track and road so I often had to move numbers several times per week. The solution I came up with was to get them the same numbers this year. Now all of the kids have 4 numbers. The older two numbers are pinned onto their long sleeved warm jerseys. The two newr numbers are pinned onto their short sleeved jerseys. We just leave them on--they wash with no problem. I used the really good pins that Candi buys that do not rust. I pinned the numbers in February. It took me about four hours to pin all of these numbers on. I found that if I pinned the numbers starting with the first pin up in the armpit I was able to make it fit in a good position for the officials. I also found that if I stuck the pin into the number then the jersey and back through the number it was harder to rip holes in their jerseys.

I don't know why folks are always so worried about which side to pin numbers on. AFAIK, every OBRA registration comes with a pair of stretchy numbers. If you're not sure, pin them on both sides, and be done with it. Greg -- sure there's a flaw in his logic, but unable to see it. To respond to the whole group send to ob-@topica.com.
