Scoresheet printing thing

Post by Graeme Cole »

Tried to build a better co-event scoresheet. Accidentally spent Sunday creating an entire scoresheet generation tool. This might be useful to co-event organisers.

Here it is. https://greem.co.uk/scoresheets/

Enter your event name, choose a layout, and print the page. The scoresheets will be printed with all the buttons and controls etc magically missing. (See also the Conundrum Printing Thing from a few years ago, which works on the same principle.)
  • 9-rounder or 15-rounder.
  • Variable number of scoresheets to an A4 page - most of the common cases are covered by one of the four presets.
  • More space for the player names - the fields meet in the middle rather than having a "Score" heading between them.
  • Host/DC field can be removed, for if you're doing a Bristol-style co-event or you just want an air of mystery about who filled in the scoresheet.
  • ◀ Arrows indicate who picks each round. ▶
  • No individual cells for each letter and number. Personally I don't think they're needed - am I wrong?
  • Dedicated row for a tiebreak, so you don't have to scribble it in the space below the table.
  • Up to three lines of custom text at the bottom for event-specific instructions, general waffling, etc.
  • Mandatory fields have a thick border, to say "if you're one of those lazy hosts who don't like having to fill in all the round details, the bare minimum information we need is the player names and the final score".
Feedback including bug reports and feature requests has a marginally higher likelihood of being addressed if it is posted in this thread.
