Update for five digit team numbers #2655

Closed sciencewhiz closed 1 month ago

jasondaming commented 1 month ago

I suggested to modify the traditional TE.AM to XTE.AM, what do you think? @sciencewhiz https://www.chiefdelphi.com/t/team-numbers-have-officially-hit-5-digits-what-now/466213/24

I liked the suggestion of 10.STE.AM.x later in the thread.

jasondaming commented 1 month ago

I was worried that would change the "obviousness" that it was the team number. I do think that would prevent confusion around 10.XTE.AM.X which less ideally uses X twice (we could also change that variable, we already use Y and Z in other places). Either way I think both of these are much better than just TE.AM

I don't like STE.AM, it uses something unrelated in a confusing way.

I think TE.AM with explanation is sufficient, but if I were to choose something else it'd prefer TEA.M#

I think just sticking with TE.AM works too with a simple explanation that "AM" is always the last two digits of the team number, so "TE" is 3 digits for 5-digit teams.
