How do you say your team number?

[Jonathan Ryan]

One four five

[Teamcodeorange]

Thirty-four seventy-six.

[Racer26]

The teams I've been on:

1075: Ten Seventy-Five.
4343: Forty-three forty-three.

I agree with most of the previous posters that the general formula seems to be to read them as two two-digit numbers (ie. Eleven Fourteen), (or a 1 digit followed by two digit, ie. Two Seventeen), except when the tens digit is a zero, and then its "Twenty Seven Oh Two", or "Seven Oh Three". There are also a few outside cases like 4001: "Four Thousand and One", or 2200: "Twenty-Two Hundred".

What I found really interesting though, is the french-language teams.

Most of the francophone teams refer to themselves (and others) in the same split format, 1075 becomes "dix soixante-quinze" and 1547 becomes "quinze quarante-sept", but the announcer at the montreal regional announced teams (anglophone and francophone), in their language, as individual digits "team one zero seven five", "equipe trois trois six zero".

Team 20

Usually MC's Say TEAM NUMBER TWEEENNNTTTTYYYYYY

Or Team Numbbbbbuuuuurrrrrreeee TWENTY!

[Victor4400]

Well, we say "four, four, zero, zero" or " forty four, zero, zero"

[Dustin Shadbolt]

We pronounced it as "fifteen fifty-five"

[theCADguy]

On Team 20, we always pronounce is as "twenty", I have never heard it pronounced as "two-zero"

I'm noticing a bit of conflicting information here

[brandon.cottrell]

At the Las Vegas Regional for most of Friday and a bit of Saturday the MC was going about saying certain numbers in a weird way and I got reminded of this thread. Such highlights include "one five thirty-eight"; "one two sixty-six" ; "ninety-eight seven" ; and "twenty one two two".


Also at one point he looked at the timer for auto and said "TEAM TENNNN"

Hey, the Fox Sports Detroit Girls did the exact same thing at MSC.

DA TIKI TECHS!! - Thirty eight - eighty -

Once in a while I hear it announced as three-eight-eight-zero!

No one asks at the competition how you want your number spoken.

It seems up to the event staff to go with what they like..

I am waiting for the day when all numbers are spoken properly.
Three thousand eight hundred and eighty. Which I have heard once at competition.. Didn't last, obviously..

When we tell others our team number = Thirty Eight Eighty

Aloha!
