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.
Recording the Scoring Information
After the match ends and any necessary info has been communicated by the head referee, the scorekeeping referees should count and record the following information.
- Number of red and yellow bean bags in the red floor goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.3).
- Number of red and yellow bean bags in the red L1 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of red and yellow bean bags in the red L2 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of red and yellow bean bags in the red L3 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of blue and yellow bean bags in the blue floor goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.3).
- Number of blue and yellow bean bags in the blue L1 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of blue and yellow bean bags in the blue L2 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of blue and yellow bean bags in the blue L3 goal (see criteria in rule 3.1.4).
- Number of yellow bean bags in the L4 goals (see criteria in rule 3.1.5).
- Number of robots marked in their team's load zone (see criteria in rule 3.16).
- If the match is a solo match or a tiebreaker for 1st place in the finals matches, record a match stop time if needed (see rules 3.3.6 and 5.1.4 for details).
Once counts 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 has been recorded correctly. Missing one object or action can impact a team's ranking at the event. 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 counts. If you’re using paper scoresheets, you are not expected to determine the actual scores for a 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.
