The centre will select the player they want to recieve the centre pass off and call the number that represents them. The numbers are made up of curly and straights. GA=24, WA=14, GD=20 and WD=12.
Straight Letters W;A;K are 1;4;7 Curlys Letters G;D;S;C are 0;2;3;5;9 Depending on the player you can create the number to represent that position for example GD you would select two curly numbers 20. WA is two straight numbers 14 WD is one straight and one curly 12 And so you create what ever combination wanted to represent the players.
