Re: Team Numbering System?
New team numbers were once assigned every year, but when FIRST decided to give teams a permanent number they went by sponsor for all teams. This is most noticable in the case of the X-cats. They are one of the original teams, but when FIRST handed out new team numbers they got 191 since they are sponsored by Xerox. Now team numbers are assigned by registration date. The reason there is no team 54 anymore is because they no longer participate in the program and FIRST most likely does not want to re-number again. So instead of assigning a rookie team 54, it is 'retired' and they are assigned a higher number. This is why 1547 has that number and not, say, 54.

P.s. Can anyone please correct me on anything that is wrong with this post? thanks.
