This should be fixed soon, I'd imagine...

Nonetheless, in the meantime, your dad can tell them apart by their ID #s, as they are listed in the match orders (as in the default roster page) in chronological order by playerID.

I always enjoyed the HT policy (may no longer be in place) of adding a nickname when there was a name conflict on a roster. Made for an interesting little quirk in the middle of all those Per Perssons.

Edit: Speaking of which, the ability to add a nickname would be an amazing perk. In order to keep it manageable for GMs (since they would definitely need to be approved), make it a supporter feature and allow it only for very special occasions (player wins league MVP, one player from a team that wins the national tournament).

Edit 2: Suggestion made in the Suggestions forum: (10449.1)

Not seeing the twins but see the three Sol Kennedys. The 3 Sols will be listed in your match orders the same way as they are on your roster page, so the first in the list will be the first one, the second will be the second... from top to bottom.

A BB will fix this when one has time, but they're currently pretty strapped with the holidays right now.
