How do you say your team number?

I'd use % but I can't easily get the reverse at the moment.

It's a conspiracy

No conflict. Pre 1999 teams got renumbered every year in alphabetical order of their primary sponsor's name. That's why you see GM/Ford teams in the 60's, NASA teams in the 110's, UTC teams in the 170's, etc.

We mostly say two fifty four but two five four is acceptable as well. Two hundred and fifty four never acceptable.

[Wayne Doenges]

We say 15 oh 1

Bill McGowen would be the one to ask but so far as I know the primary sponsor for 1997 and 1998 was BASF.

Did AAA sponsor a team?

Bet it was probably BAE...who has been one of our sponsors for a while...but then we should have moved back up again the next year.

"Fifteen-forty"

Though at a demo it said (on the freaking sign) "Team 1450."

I was perhaps unnecessarily mad, so I took a Sharpie to it. The revised poster hangs in our lab.

Thirty-Eighty-Two

[themccannman]

The announcers are actually the only people I've heard pronounce team numbers as individual digits. I (and I think most others) pronounce team numbers by splitting the last two digits and the first two (or one). So 2056 becomes "twenty fifty-six", 254 becomes "two fifty-four", and 987 becomes "nine eighty-seven". That's how I've always heard it pronounced, it's also usually the fewest syllables.

1592: Fifteen Ninety-Two or One Five Nine Two

[Pault]

Half the time I will say thirty nine fifty eight and the other half I will say three nine five eight.

Are team name is one of the few that is always pronounced "eight six five" because it's the fewest syllable.

[Domenic Rodriguez]

We usually say "three sixteen," except for one of my teammates who has taken to saying "thirty-one six" just to be confusing.

[216Robochick288]

Two-sixteen, two-forty four, and two-eighty eight.

Our number is most definitely from BASF.

Two
Four
Six
Eight

Not twentyfour, sixtyeight.

See and like in instances like this I'd be a little upset if you didn't take advantage of your team number.

[billbo911]

"Twenty Seventy Three", but on rare occasions, "Two Zero Seven Three".
