Mga Tawag at Palayaw sa Bingo: Ang Tradisyunal na Listahan ng Tumatawag
Ang mga bingo call ay ang mga tradisyonal na tumutula na palayaw na sinasabi ng tumatawag sa bawat iginuhit na numero, karamihan ay nasa 90-ball bingo — tulad ng "Kelly's eye, number 1", "two little ducks, 22", "legs eleven, 11", "clickety click, 66", at "two fat ladies, 88". Laging sinasabi ng tumatawag ang totoong numero din, kaya ang mga palayaw ay puro tradisyon at masaya.
The complete list for all ninety numbers is below, each row linkable on its own — #number-88 jumps straight to "two fat ladies". The same data is available as a JSON file if you want to build something with it.
Ano nga ba ang mga tawag sa bingo?
Ang bingo call ay isang maikling palayaw o tula na ipinares sa isang numero, na halos ginagamit sa larong 90-ball na sikat sa UK, Ireland, at Australia. Karamihan sa mga tula ay simple: tumutula ang mga ito sa numero ("labing-isang binti, 11"), inilalarawan kung ano ang hitsura ng mga digit ("dalawang maliit na pato, 22" para sa mga hubog na leeg ng mga pato), o sangguniang kultura at kasaysayan ("Brighton line, 59" mula sa isang lumang ruta ng bus). Ang tumatawag ay palaging inaanunsyo ang aktwal na numero pagkatapos ng palayaw, kaya walang sinuman ang kailangang magsaulo ng anumang bagay upang maglaro.
Ang tradisyon ay nabuo sa kalagitnaan ng ika-20 siglong British bingo hall, kung saan isang malakas na tawag ang pumutol sa ingay. Ang "Legs eleven" ay nagdadala sa isang masikip na silid na mas mahusay kaysa sa isang pinutol na "eleven," at ang mga mapaglaro ay nagbigay ng personalidad sa tumatawag. Kung bago ka sa mismong format, ang aming gabay sa 75-bola laban sa 90-bolang bingo ipinapaliwanag kung bakit nabibilang ang mga tawag sa 90-ball world.
Ang buong tradisyonal na 90-ball bingo na listahan ng mga tawag, 1 hanggang 90
Ang bawat numero mula 1 hanggang 90 ay may tradisyonal na tawag, at lahat ng siyamnapu ay nakalista dito na may maikling tala kung saan nanggaling ang bawat isa. Ang mga salita ay nag-iiba ayon sa rehiyon at bulwagan — maraming numero ang may dalawa o tatlong tinatanggap na tawag, na ipinapakita bilang mga kahalili — ngunit ang pangunahing hanay ay ang pinakakilalang bersyon. Ang bawat hilera ay may sariling anchor, kaya #number-11 direktang nag-uugnay sa "labing-isang binti".

Paano ginawa ang mga palayaw
Kapag nakita mo na ang lohika, maaari mong hulaan ang karamihan sa mga tawag bago ito turuan ng sinuman. Napabilang sila sa ilang pamilya:
- Mga tula — "tao na buhay, 5", "garden gate, 8", "knock at the door, 4". Ang pinakamadaling marinig sa buong bulwagan.
- Mga hugis — "dalawang maliit na pato, 22", "labing isang binti, 11", "dalawang matabang babae, 88". Ang mga digit ay kamukha ng bagay na pinangalanan.
- Mga numero at milestone — "susi ng pinto, 21", "kalahati doon, 45", "pensiyon sa katandaan, 65". May ibig sabihin ang numero.
- Kultura at kasaysayan — "utos ng doktor, 9", "Brighton line, 59", "trombones, 76". Little time capsules ng British life.
Ang visual na pamilya ang pinakanakakatuwang makita. Sa ibaba, ang mga digit mismo ay nagpapahiwatig ng kanilang mga palayaw.
Tumawag ng isang laro nang may kumpiyansa
Hindi mo kailangan ang bawat tula sa iyong unang gabi. Ang panuntunan ng thumb ni Nadia ay gumagana nang maayos: alamin ang sampu o labinlimang paborito ng karamihan — 1, 2, 8, 9, 11, 22, 66, 76, 88, 90 — at basahin nang malinaw ang iba hanggang sa manatili sila. Sabihin muna ang palayaw, pagkatapos ay ang numero, pagkatapos ay ulitin ang numero: "Legs eleven, number 11 — one, one." Ang pag-uulit na iyon ay ang bahagi na talagang tumutulong sa mga manlalaro na marinig ka.
Ang pacing ay mahalaga gaya ng mga tawag. Mag-iwan ng isang beat sa pagitan ng mga numero upang ma-dab ng mga manlalaro ang kanilang mga card, at bumagal malapit sa pagtatapos ng isang round kapag may malapit na. Kung ikaw ay tumatakbo sa buong gabi, ang aming gabay sa nagho-host ng bingo night sa bahay sumasaklaw sa tiyempo, mga premyo, at pinapanatili ang lakas, at kung nakikipag-juggling ka sa isang malaking pulutong, tingnan kung paano subaybayan ang maramihang bingo card nang hindi nawawala ang iyong lugar.

Mga tradisyonal na tumutula na palayaw na sinasabi ng tumatawag sa bawat numero sa 90-ball bingo — "two little ducks, 22", "legs eleven, 11", "clickety click, 66". Ang totoong numero ay palaging sinasabi din.
Bakit gumagamit ng mga palayaw ang mga tumatawag sa bingo?
Ginagawa nilang mas madaling marinig ang mga numero sa isang maingay na bulwagan at nagdaragdag ng ritmo at katatawanan. Karamihan sa mga rhyme ay nagmula sa kalagitnaan ng ika-20 siglong kultura ng bingo ng Britanya at nananatili bilang tradisyon.

"Two fat ladies" — ang hubog na hugis ng dalawang 8. Ang mga manlalaro sa maraming bulwagan ay tumutugon ng "wobble wobble".
Kailangan mo bang malaman ang mga palayaw sa paglalaro?
Hindi. Palaging sinasabi ng tumatawag ang aktwal na numero, kaya kailangan mo lang marinig ang mga digit. Ang mga palayaw ay tradisyon, hindi isang panuntunan.
