Re: How do you say your team number?
 

I'm with you Adam, never heard it called anything except "Team One Hundred".
So, that makes it official. Henceforth, you shall always be referred to as "Team One Hundred".

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We've always been Emceed at the competitions as Twenty-Seven-Seventy-Three.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

eight six two
or eight sixty two

one of our cheers is "eight-six-two, orange and blue"
those are our team colors

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Three forty-one

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Team Twenty.
Or sometimes, when we're feelin' goofy:

Team Twunny.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Guys, I was joking. "Team one hundred" is the real way. Although if you want to call us that, go right ahead.


We always used to joke that because 254 used to be very strict about being pronounced "two five four" instead of "two fifty four,"* we should start calling them "team twenty five four" and us "team ten zero."

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Two-forty. Pretty straight-forward.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

I've experienced both of these phenomena being on Five Six Two and Thirty-Six Twenty-Three. I've also been known to say Three Six Two Three though.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Looks like we were in the minority of not going by "two twenty-three" and instead going by "two two three"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Thirteen Eleven

Three-Sixty. Nice and simple :)

It seems to me that this thread is just a verification of one of the unwritten rules of linguistics when it comes to English and numbers...by and large, people say things how neurolinguists predict they will!

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

usually two-thirty-four.

sometimes two-three-four.

and recently, once,
twenty-three-four.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Most of the time - "two two five"
Occasionally - "two twenty-five"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

On our team (195) We usually say One-Nine-Five....but occasionally hear us called "one ninety five" and we are good with that too :)

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

99% of the time its twentynine-fifty

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

"forty nine OH one"

Which is funny because my old team number was.

"Eleven OH two"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

eighteen oh two = 1802

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

On 177 we usually say "one-seven-seven." But then again, I never hear anyone on my team say the number, so I could be dead wrong.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Since we're from Mexico, we say it in Spanish: "veintidós ochenta y tres".

It's divided the same way we are almost always called in English: twenty-two eighty-three.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We simply say forty one eighty three. So i guess we are saying it the most common way.:)

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

nine-nine-seven. I hate when a competition they call us team "Nine hundred and ninety seven."

Re: How do you say your team number?

Rosie is Eight thirty nine

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Semi-related and always trips me up... have you ever tried announcing for an FLL competition with five digit team numbers? Take 15886 (made up example, most likely a team somewhere). "Fifteen thousand eight hundred and eighty six" takes eons to say out loud. "One five eight eight six"? "One fifty-eight eighty-six"? "Fifteen Eighty-Eight Six"? This is a serious conundrum. At least there are only two teams on the field for each match.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

My solution to this problem, when I was on an FLL team, was to sign up early each year, and get a small team number. The best we ever did at this was our last year, we scored number 495.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

I can relate to this. Two weekends ago I was the emcee for an FLL Qualifier and I got tongue tied on those long numbers multiple occasions. Luckily for that particular event we had mostly lower number teams.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Simply, Three - oh - eight. It just sounds wrong any other way.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Since FLL numbers aren't kept year to year, I think it's reasonable to announce them by team name. Vanishingly few of the spectators know the team's number anyway.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

"Thirty-seven Fifty-three"

It is also rarely said three-seven-five-three

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Thirty-Four Eighty-One

"Thirty-Two, Sixty-Six"

although the joke (3*2)66 has been made XD

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Count to 18 starting with 17. (integers only)

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

One four five

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Thirty-four seventy-six.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

The teams I've been on:

1075: Ten Seventy-Five.
4343: Forty-three forty-three.

I agree with most of the previous posters that the general formula seems to be to read them as two two-digit numbers (ie. Eleven Fourteen), (or a 1 digit followed by two digit, ie. Two Seventeen), except when the tens digit is a zero, and then its "Twenty Seven Oh Two", or "Seven Oh Three". There are also a few outside cases like 4001: "Four Thousand and One", or 2200: "Twenty-Two Hundred".

What I found really interesting though, is the french-language teams.

Most of the francophone teams refer to themselves (and others) in the same split format, 1075 becomes "dix soixante-quinze" and 1547 becomes "quinze quarante-sept", but the announcer at the montreal regional announced teams (anglophone and francophone), in their language, as individual digits "team one zero seven five", "equipe trois trois six zero".

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Team 20

Usually MC's Say TEAM NUMBER TWEEENNNTTTTYYYYYY

Or Team Numbbbbbuuuuurrrrrreeee TWENTY!

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Well, we say "four, four, zero, zero" or " forty four, zero, zero"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We pronounced it as "fifteen fifty-five"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

On Team 20, we always pronounce is as "twenty", I have never heard it pronounced as "two-zero"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

I'm noticing a bit of conflicting information here

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

At the Las Vegas Regional for most of Friday and a bit of Saturday the MC was going about saying certain numbers in a weird way and I got reminded of this thread. Such highlights include "one five thirty-eight"; "one two sixty-six" ; "ninety-eight seven" ; and "twenty one two two".


Also at one point he looked at the timer for auto and said "TEAM TENNNN"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Hey, the Fox Sports Detroit Girls did the exact same thing at MSC. :)

#team10

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

This should be a thing

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

DA TIKI TECHS!! - Thirty eight - eighty -

Once in a while I hear it announced as three-eight-eight-zero!

No one asks at the competition how you want your number spoken.

It seems up to the event staff to go with what they like..

I am waiting for the day when all numbers are spoken properly.
Three thousand eight hundred and eighty. Which I have heard once at competition.. Didn't last, obviously..

When we tell others our team number = Thirty Eight Eighty

Aloha!

We say three sixteen
(or thirty one six, just to be funny)

"...and here we have team ten all the way from Manchester, New Hampshire! It's Autonomous Period Time!"

"Autonomous Period Time, sponsored by 3M, Baxter, NASA, GM, Delphi, Xerox, Rockwell Automation, IFI, and Underwriters Laboratories."

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We actually have a cheer where a few students will yell "forty-four!!!" and the rest of them reply, "eighty-eight!!!" It just seems to roll off the tongue really nice with the repetition of the digits.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

frc131: "One-Thirty-One"

frc1100:
commonly: "Eleven-Hundred"
occasionally: "One-one-zero-zero"

1100 really hates it when announcers call them:
"One thousand-one hundred"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

I'm sure other teams do this, but when or team cheers we yell "21!!!......75!!!!" with about half of us yelling each half.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Thirty-Two, Sixty

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Thirty-two Sixteen

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

New team: four. Fairly boring.

Old team: twenty-two. Also boring.

I should start a new team to get a cool number.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

six four nine or six forty-nine

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

So who gets to claim them as a "House Team?"

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

My main team goes by "three one three" and "three thirteen" almost interchangeably. My rookie team only goes by "fifty two twenty".

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Our team usually goes by seven-seven-who but we sometimes like to change it up and say seven-seven-two to throw people off.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Pit announcements at Northern Lights called us "Team Two-Two-Two-Zero" for most of the tournament. One of our members actually ended up asking them to call us "Team Twenty-Two-Twenty."

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Our team usually goes with nine five five but match announcers usually go with nine fifty-five.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

Twelve Sixty One - most people say it like this.

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We always say our name "twenty sixty-seven"
I generally don't say the individual numbers of a team, but for some reason I always say "five five eight" instead of "five fifty-eight"
I can't think of any other teams where I do that :P

Re: How do you say your team number?
 

We always do that with our team number. We've always called ourselves "six-six-eight". "Six sixty-eight" just sounds weird to us.
