CAQL scoresheet

Sample scoresheet

Players in quiz bowl tournaments usually like to know just how many tossup questions each person answered. Pre-formatted scoresheets help you to keep track of this information. A sample scoresheet in ASCII text format is available for free use at
http://caql.org/scoresheet.txt

Scoresheets will have a row for each tossup-bonus pair, and we've seen two types:

some have space to write in the name or number of the player who answered each tossup question;
some have separate columns to record each player's tossups.

In our experience, the second type is easier for both the scorekeeper and the eventual stats compiler. The scoresheet provided here is of the second type. Here is an example of how it may appear after a game of 20 tossups (tossups 1, 6, and 14 went unanswered in this fictional game between two fictional teams):
