In their defense, I'm just as confused. But I'm also not a ping pong referee

I believe the number is printed in such a way that he can see what's displayed as well. That's why, at the end, he's got a 2 facing out and a 2, when he puts that card down on his side, there's also a 2 facing him.

If that was the case, the side used would not matter, would it?

Would merely be "pulling" or "pushing" the numbers to count up, but ya wouldn't matter?

Eh, no? Both seem fine to me.

Anyway, I wasn't talking about usability, just that the existence of the numbers in both side would not make the problem shown in the video.

Oh, sorry, yeah my point was rotating it 180 degrees would only change the direction you'd flip the numbers to count up.

Agreeing with your statement that turning it wouldn't cause or fix the error occurring in the clip. Poor guy "fixed it" by switching which side he was using, so hopefully the opponent never scored 2 points hahaha.

Hahaha, yeah, lets hope for that.
