- The sequence of scores (and
the rough time is even better)
why is that important to you?
why is that important to you?
We had a go at this in posts 13 and 14
- looking at my scorecard the narrative and structure of the game can be seen, so it's easier to recall each try and score
- so in case anyone checks the score with me, rather than saying, for example "you scored four tries and converted three of them" I can say "you scored four tries, you missed the conversion for the third one, just before half time" and in saying that we will both recall the kick . So I think it's more useful
- I can see the half time score (I draw a line)
- and if there is any card I note the time, which in turn when I write my report I know the score at that time, without having to note it on pitch in the moment
Generally speaking it seems to take no effort at all the write the time ..and have lots of benefits. Alternatively in my system because each score is a new line I can omit the time, and still have the sequence
Here's my card, for easy comparison with Patrick's . I think mine is simpler , and conveys more information, more intuitively
But I know everyone likes their own system

Yes, go on, and I will show you what my scorecard would look like
AIUI you do record missed conversion, that's a single line, rather than a cross, isn't it ?
Gotcha....kudos for you to make that effort to get what you need. Personally I havent got the time to worry about recording times and never have had the inclination (and I have the lucky luxury that most of my games are recorded so I can review them at liesure afterwards)
Indeed. No criticism from me. Time stats are not something I can or will record on the run.
I use this score sheet...and just make stroke in the relevent box. I keep it minimal.

So, what would it look like , with the same sequence number fnscores as post 22 ?
Patrick, I think my brain works differently from yours !
I am endlessly interested in other people systems , but in the end always come back to mine
Two things I think are important
- The sequence of scores (and
the rough time is even better)
- Positively recording a missed kick , so that looking back you can be certain it was a miss, and not a failure to record it
ah, I have a facing page that shows some of that extra data, like names of captains , I will post that up as well.
But I collect different data from you .. example i don't record who won the toss and the decision (don't think that is imptt) I do record who kicked off.
My games are almost all unlimited interchanges, so I don't have to record them
