Re: How do you say your team number?
 
My typical enunciation matches what you described:

1519: Fifteen, Nineteen

For pretty much all 4-digit teams it's just broken into the two 2-digit numbers... unless the tens-place digit is a 0:
1114: Eleven, Fourteen
2056: Twenty, Fifty-Six
1902: Nineteen, o, Two
1717: Seventeen, Seventeen
3467: Thirty-four, Sixty-seven
1310: Thirteen, ten

3 digit teams are pretty much always a 1-digit number than the 2-digit number... again except if the tens-place digit is a 0:
469: Four, Sixty-Nine
987: Nine, Eighty-Seven
610: Six, Ten
330: Three, Thirty
103: One, o, Three

2 or 1 digit teams are just however you'd say their number usually:
67: Sixty-seven
25: Twenty-five
1: One

It always sounds so strange hearing someone announce our number as "One thousand, Five-hundred Nineteen..." but that really only happens when you have a non-FIRSTer announcing team numbers for a match for some reason. FIRSTers usually go the four-syllable method rather than the tongue-tying 8-syllable route!

Really? I always thought it'd be something like one one one.

Two thirty

But last year at the CT Regional we were announced once as Twenty-three oh... it was very odd. LOL

My teams, who are both 4-digit, non-zero-in-the-tens-place teams both usually pronounce it with the split into pairs.

Twenty-seven seventy-one
Forty-nine sixty-seven

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
Three Oh Six
and sometimes but not often
Three Zero Six

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
Thirty-four, sixty-seven.

Or depending if we are at an event with Code Orange its thirty-four, seventy-six. ;) :p

EDIT: Nathan Streeter's list above is similar to how I'll say other teams. O's instead of 0s is pretty common if the 0 is the second to last number.

Depends on the pace of the event. ;) It ranges between:

Eleven-fourteen
and
One thousand, one hundred and fourteen
and
One zero zero zero one zero one one zero one zero

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
We say:
"MMCDXL"

No...honestly, it's "twenty-six forty" But usually "Hotbotz twenty-six forty"

Richard Wallace 25-11-2013 12:11

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
Nine thirty one, or sum(n=0-->2, 30^n)

Thirty six twenty, or (1/N) x sum(n=1-->N, Joe_n)

:D
