How this list was compiled: The layout is our own work: a row for each kind of score with a box for how many a team made, each worth its points, and the final score worked out; and a second sheet for flag football with a box a half. Checked on 2026-10-09 against the English Wikipedia article American football, section Scoring (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football): a touchdown is worth six points and comes when a live ball is carried into, caught in or recovered in the other team's end zone; the try after it is worth one point when kicked through the goal posts (the extra point) and two points when scored the way a touchdown is (the two-point conversion); a field goal is worth three points, drop kicked or place kicked between the uprights and above the crossbar; a safety is worth two points, given to the defense when the ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone; the team with more points when the game ends wins. Checked the same day against the English Wikipedia article Flag football (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_football): a standard game is played in two halves whose length is set by the league; the sport has no dominant sanctioning organization, so its rules vary, among them tries worth 1, 2 or 3 points. For that reason the flag football sheet presets no point value: a half's points are typed as one number. The most a box takes is a guard against a slip of the finger and not a rule of the game. No league, team, maker or event is named. Licence: own work

How it works

This football score sheet works the score out of the scoring plays: count each team's touchdowns, extra points, two-point tries, field goals and safeties, and it does the sums. It prints blank for a clipboard.
