To sign "chosen" (or "choose"), start with your dominant hand extended in front of you, palm facing down and fingers spread loosely. Pull your hand back towards your body while pinching your thumb and index finger together, as if you are picking a specific object out of a group.
Establish the context of the team first, point to yourself, and then use the sign for 'chosen' to show that you were the one picked.
Sign 'color', point to the person, sign 'chosen', and use the 'finish' sign to ask if the action is completed. Remember to raise your eyebrows since it is a yes/no question.
Point to the person, sign 'win' and add the person marker to indicate 'winner', then use the 'chosen' sign to emphasize that they were selected.

Yes! ASL does not change the form of the verb to show past tense like English does. You use the same sign for 'choose', 'chose', and 'chosen', relying on context or time signs (like 'past' or 'finish') to indicate when it happened.
You should use your dominant hand to perform the pinching and pulling motion. Your non-dominant hand can just rest at your side, or you can hold it out flat to represent the options you are choosing from.
Yes, absolutely! This sign is very versatile and is commonly used for 'pick', 'select', and 'choose'. They all share the exact same visual concept of selecting an item from a larger group.
