I designed this sheet to be very basic, comparable to, and somewhat an extension of, the box scores found in newspaper sports sections. It’s in no way intended to be comprehensive. I make a variety of scoresheets, some include diamonds for tracking base runners (double sided letter size), down to a score sheet that fits inside an Altoids tin. All have their own purpose. The typewriter sheet was mainly created as a design challenge and never intented for public release. Surprisingly, there are folks who want it so I’m letting few people kick it around before I make it freely available.

Each scoring cell is three characters wide by two lines high. I leave it up to the scorer to develop their own shorthand. The sheet shown here uses a few things I came up with: “” represents an RBI followed by the number (so “1” for one RBI); “/“ is used to denote a pitching change; “K and KL” for strikeout swinging and looking respectively (although I prefer Hanks’ solution of “K” and “k”).

I’ll be releasing these in the coming days as they are for the most part with only modest tweaks. I’ll post the link when ready.

Thank you your comments and suggestions!
