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!

Re: How do you say your team number?

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?

Thirty-four, sixty-seven.

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

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

Nine thirty one, or sum(n=0-->2, 30^n)

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

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
