No, it would not matter which way the team numbers are entered.

Also, I have noticed that some people have submitted team information without latitude or longitude points, or with them rounded to the nearest integer. These points are the only way that the teams can be mapped, so I need this information for any entry. Please try to make the lat/lon accurate to at least 4-5 decimal places, as otherwise the pushpins will not appear in the correct place. The maximum decimal places supported is 13.

If you don't have Google Earth, some free sites to find you lat/lon are:
