How many seasons has our team competed?

• A. 12
• B. 14
• C. 15
• D. 16

Answer: (B)

Counting how many seasons a team has competed comes down to inclusive counting from the first season to the last season. You identify the year of the first competition and the most recent year in which the team competed, then count every year in between, including both ends. The total equals the last year minus the first year plus one.

If the team began in a given year and competed every year up to the most recent finished season, the math works like this: last year minus first year plus one. For example, if the team started in 2011 and the most recent completed season is 2024, you’d have 2024 − 2011 + 1 = 14 seasons. This method also covers cases where a year was skipped or a season was interrupted—those years aren’t counted as part of the total unless the team actually competed in them.

So the fourteen-season total reflects this inclusive counting across all years the team actively competed.
