Is it possible display a jersey number for a player as 00? All attempts to do so have failed. If I prepend the string "00" with any non-numberic characters (such as ' or \) I get an error that only numerals are allowed in the # field.
Entering just 00 is displayed as 0.

Welcome to the board.
00 has always defaulted to 0 with iScore. I am not sure why but I have read a thread on here some time ago that it would require a code change from simple numeric to something else that required significant amount of code rewrite.

The database holds jersey numbers as numbers. "00" is just 0 to a computer when stored as a number. FTM would have to change to storing characters, in which case "00" is different then "0".

One option is to use "100" for players with 00 on their jersey... we know it isn't "00", but "00" is not a real number, and as noted by others, we store numbers for the jerseys right now.
