Scorekeeper referees use a paper or digital score sheet to record and submit scores from solo and alliance matches during a competition. The style of scoresheet used at a specific event is determined by the Event Partner when the competition software is set up for the event.

How to Record the Score
For paper score sheets, it is critical that the correct match number be entered at the top of the score sheet and all team numbers be entered on the blank lines in the bottom third of the scoresheet. Digital scoresheets are pre-populated with match and team numbers.
Once object counts/locations have been recorded, the scorekeeper referees must show the scoresheet to all teams in the match so they have an opportunity to verify that the counts have been recorded correctly. Missing one object or action might be the difference in winning or losing a match. Use the teams to double check the score sheet before submitting it. Note that you’re not asking teams to verify the scores, just individual object counts. If you’re using paper scoresheets, you are not expected to determine the actual scores for a match.
Solo Match Scoring
After the match ends, the referees should count and record the following information.
- Numbers of cups and visible red and yellow halfpins in each of the two red alliance goals.
- The color set on the roller in the red zone.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the goal in neutral zone 1.
- The color set on the roller in neutral zone 1.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the goal in neutral zone 2.
- The color set on the roller in neutral zone 2.
- Numbers of cups and visible blue and yellow in each of the two blue alliance goals.
- The color set on the roller in the blue zone.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the center goal.
- Record a match stop time if needed (see rule 3.3.6 for details).
Alliance Match Scoring
After the autonomous period and before starting the driver controlled period, the head referee must decide which alliances (if any) have earned autonomous ranking points and communicate that to the scorekeeper referees to record. Check the Autonomous Ranking Point box on the scoresheet for each alliance that has earned an ARP. See section 5.5.1 in the program's game manual for the list of ARP criteria.
After the driver controlled period ends, the head referee must decide which alliances (if any) have earned endgame ranking points and communicate that to the scorekeeper referees to record. Check the Endgame Ranking Point box on the scoresheet for each alliance that has earned an ERP. See section 5.5.2 in the program's game manual for the list of ERP criteria.
After the match ends and any necessary information has been communicated by the head referee, the scorekeeping referees should record the following:
- Numbers of cups and visible red and yellow halfpins in each of the two red alliance goals.
- The color set on the roller in the red zone.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the goal in neutral zone 1.
- The color set on the roller in neutral zone 1.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the goal in neutral zone 2.
- The color set on the roller in neutral zone 2.
- Numbers of cups and visible blue and yellow in each of the two blue alliance goals.
- The color set on the roller in the blue zone.
- Numbers of cups and visible red, blue, and yellow halfpins in the center goal.
- Number of parked robots for each alliance.
At the end of the match, your scoresheet should indicate earned ARPs, earned ERPs, and counts of all objects that meet scoring criteria at the end of the match.
No Shows and Red Cards
Before submitting the scoresheet, scorekeeper referees should work with the head referee to determine whether the “No Show” or “Red Card” checkboxes should be marked for any teams in the match.
Check the No Show box for any team whose robot is not at the field and/or in the driver box.
If the head referee issues a red card foul to a team at the end of the match, mark the Red Card box next to their team number on the scoresheet and make a note of the corresponding rule number in the Red Card Reason space. A team cannot receive a red card unless they have broken a specific rule.
If a team’s robot is removed from the field by the head referee for not being within specifications of the inspection rules, but remains at the field for the match, the team should not receive a No Show. There is nothing to mark on the scoresheet in this situation.
How to Submit the Score
Before submitting a paper or digital scoresheet, first ensure that all teams have agreed to the outcome of the match and the information recorded on the scoresheet. Next, double-check that the scoresheet includes the correct match number and all other details.
Finally, to submit a completed paper scoresheet hand it to the software operator for entry into the tournament file.
