How to fill in this sheet
Fill the header first: Team A and Team B, date and venue, referee and scorekeeper, competition and match no., category. In self-officiated ultimate that referee box has no natural occupant — leave it blank and put your own name under Scorekeeper. The grid underneath is three columns wide, a row label plus one column per team, and its ten rows are numbered 'Point 1' through 'Point 10', with a 'Final score' row closing the table. One row per point of the match, two cells to fill on each, then the total: that is the whole sheet.
So give every row to a single point, whichever side caught it. The moment a goal goes up, move down one row and write the running score in both cells: 'Point 7' might carry 4 for Team A and 3 for Team B. Two separate figures, never a '4-3' squeezed into one box — the columns already keep the teams apart. The habit pays for itself, because the two numbers on a row must add up to the row number. When the addition fails, a point slipped past your pen and you can find it while the game is still on.
The game leaves you a little time between rows, but not much: after every point the teams switch their direction of attack and the side that just scored restarts play with a pull, so the disc is airborne again before your ink is dry. Ten rows will not carry a grass game played to 15 — print a second copy and number its rows from 11 by hand, or keep the sheet for the closing points of a tight one. When the target falls, or the time cap expires with one team ahead, copy the last row into 'Final score' and have both captains sign.
What the scorekeeper watches
One warning about vocabulary, because it catches everyone: in ultimate the marker is the defender planted in front of the thrower, the one who announces 'Stalling' and counts aloud to ten. You, holding the sheet, are the scorekeeper. Your job is the narrower one. A goal is worth exactly 1 point — which is why the 'Point values' legend on this sheet has a single entry, '+1' — and it counts only when a player catches the disc under control in the end zone their team is attacking. Nothing else moves the score.
Everything the players call out to each other stays off your rows. A travel, a foul, a pick, a double-team by two defenders inside 3 m of the thrower, a fast count, a stall that runs out: each one changes possession or position, never the score, and a call that stands sends the disc back to the last thrower. The 'Sanctions & stoppages' legend prints one word, 'Timeouts', because that is the only interruption this sheet keeps room for. Tick it in the margin beside the team that took it, and mark half-time the same way.
Common questions
The rows stop at 'Point 10' and we play to 15 — what do I do?
Print the sheet twice and number the second copy's rows from 11 by hand. A game to 15 needs at least fifteen rows and usually more, since the losing team's points take rows too. The other option is to open the sheet only where it matters, for the closing exchanges, and let the 'Final score' row carry the result.
Do I write anything down for a turnover?
No. A dropped pass, an interception, a throw out of bounds or a stall changes possession, not the score, so your rows stay untouched until someone catches the disc in the end zone. If your team studies its turnovers afterwards, note them in the margin — the numbered rows are for goals only.
Nobody referees ultimate. Is a written sheet worth anything?
More than in refereed sports, in fact. Ultimate is self-officiated under the Spirit of the Game, so the score is the one both teams recognise; announcing the running total after each point, then writing it down, settles nearly every argument before it starts. Treat it as a generic template for training, club play and friendly tournaments — federations issue their own match forms.
On a grass field there is usually no scoreboard at all: the sheet in your hand is the only visible score of the game. A phone mostly changes who else gets to see it. The totals add themselves up, and family who could not travel follow every goal through a QR code, free, no app or account. It counts on with no signal, and afterwards you can print the recap, point by point.
