How to play

1. Choose a preset, or pick custom columns and set the number of players.
2. Type your own column names if you want them, one per line.
3. Write each round's points in its row as the round finishes.
4. For tally boards, draw one stroke for each point: four upright strokes, then a diagonal across them, for every five points.
5. Add the points up at the bottom, and stop when a team or player reaches the target.

Tips

• Print two pads per page for a quick score sheet for two tables.
• Use the names field to put team or player names in the column headers before printing.
• Keep a pencil with an eraser near the table, so mistakes are easy to fix.
• Check the target before you start. Agree on it with everyone who is playing.
