To single out JonDarr, the best game announcer in FRC, he does a fantastic job of mixing one or two sponsors, team tidbits such as school, city, state, robot name, a bit of team history - that is different and interesting each time.

Its typical protocol to give the "official" team name(which is all the teams sponsors) during each teams 1st match. Then after they mix it up with other interesting facts and the teams more recognized nick names.
