A Better Name Than That

A Better Name Than That, or ABNTT for short, is one of the eight teams in Battle for BFDI, as well as one of the three team names that were named by accident. As seen in "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Golf Ball was once again the team captain. However, in "Lick Your Way to Freedom", the team replaced her with 8-Ball as the new team captain due to the fact that Golf Ball didn't respect people like Grassy and Blocky. However, it is likely that Golf Ball is the captain again, due to 8-Ball being eliminated in "Questions Answered". The members of the team bonded over most of them being "balls" or "mechanical minds". Thus, A Better Name Than That was created.

The way the name of the team was created was similar to the way Another Name's was: Basketball, after Death P.A.C.T. was named, knew that they must have already named their team, so Golf Ball says her team must have "a better name than that" if they wanted to win. Blue and stretched text saying "A BETTER NAME THAN THAT" appears as a result, both above the members of the newly named team and on TV's screen, and it becomes the name of the team.
