  • Setup checklist: prepare your questions, equipment, answer sheets and scoring before players arrive.
  • Printable house rules: explain phones, submissions, scoring and ties before play.
  • Tie-break procedure: prepare a verified numerical question and backup, then resolve tied prize places consistently.
  • Backup scoreboard and team answer sheet: print fresh copies for each event.

Use it for your next night

  1. Save a fresh copy of the workbook for each event. Keep the answer keys out of players’ sight.
  2. Print the pages you need. Prepare and verify your tie-break question before the game starts.
  3. Enter team names and round scores in the cream cells. Leave unscored rounds blank; enter 0 when a team scores zero.
  4. Confirm every round before announcing the winner. Use the separate tie-break worksheet for tied final totals.

Format: the scoring workbook is set up for four rounds of 15 points. Follow your chosen pack’s host guide when its format differs. The PDF contains five printable pages.
