Print it or type on it
Print blank sheet prints twelve events, from the sack race to spirit points, with a total row. To keep score on a screen, type each team's points after every event: with three teams, 3 for first down to 1 for last. The + after the last column adds a team, up to eight.
Your own events
Numbered events has rows from Event 1 to Event 20 for any program. All twenty are on the sheet, and the × at the end of a row takes it off. Write each event's name beside its number on the printed sheet.
- Type a team name or color under each column head, never a child's own name.
- Two teams level in an event both take the points of the higher place.
Questions and answers
How do you score a field day?
Give each event place points and add them up. A simple scale gives first place as many points as there are teams, so three teams score 3, 2 and 1, and the highest total at the end wins the day.
What events are on the field day scoreboard?
Sack race, three-legged race, egg and spoon race, tug of war, relay race, bean bag toss, hoop pass, water relay, long jump, obstacle course, parachute game and spirit points. For another program, open the numbered sheet.
How many teams can it score?
Two to eight. The sheet opens with three columns named Red, Blue and Green. The + after the last column adds a team, and you can type any team name under a column head.
What are spirit points?
Points the judges give for cheering, fair play and tidying up, not for winning an event. They have the last row of the sheet. Agree beforehand the most a team can get.
Can I print a blank field day score sheet?
Yes. Print blank sheet prints the open sheet empty on Letter or A4, with the suggested points and rulings under the rows. Print one for each scorer.
