How do you say your team number?

[oscarfonloz]

Since we're from Mexico, we say it in Spanish: "veintidós ochenta y tres".

It's divided the same way we are almost always called in English: twenty-two eighty-three.

[kuraikou]

We simply say forty one eighty three. So i guess we are saying it the most common way.

[Munchskull]

nine-nine-seven. I hate when a competition they call us team "Nine hundred and ninety seven."

[MetalJacket]

Twenty Sixty-Eight

[LilsisdeRosie]

Rosie is Eight thirty nine

[nomad725]

Forty Nine Fifty iFour

Semi-related and always trips me up... have you ever tried announcing for an FLL competition with five digit team numbers? Take 15886 (made up example, most likely a team somewhere). "Fifteen thousand eight hundred and eighty six" takes eons to say out loud. "One five eight eight six"? "One fifty-eight eighty-six"? "Fifteen Eighty-Eight Six"? This is a serious conundrum. At least there are only two teams on the field for each match.

My solution to this problem, when I was on an FLL team, was to sign up early each year, and get a small team number. The best we ever did at this was our last year, we scored number 495.

I can relate to this. Two weekends ago I was the emcee for an FLL Qualifier and I got tongue tied on those long numbers multiple occasions. Luckily for that particular event we had mostly lower number teams.

Simply, Three - oh - eight. It just sounds wrong any other way.

Since FLL numbers aren't kept year to year, I think it's reasonable to announce them by team name. Vanishingly few of the spectators know the team's number anyway.
