IMCanada and IMWisconsin Race Numbers. . . . #@&%@$

I just finished IMCanada, and I just saw some pictures from IMWisconsin.  I had only ONE complaint from Canada.  What was up with those race numbers.  First off, they were made from some material you could use as a cutting board.  Those were the stiffest numbers I've ever raced with.  Terrible, just terrible! ! !   Also they were HUGE! ! !   I'm a short dude.  About 5'7", and those numbers went from my race belt almost down to my knees.  My main complaint was the material.  They weren't made from the soft, weather proof paper that you normally get at races.

Did anyone else find these race numbers to be a pain in the buttocks? ? ? ?

Aaaaaa. . .   It was probly just me. . .
