Game Card Template

Download this game card to your PC or print from here. Print on to card stock, cut to size, fold into thirds to fit into shirt pocket. Opposite side can be used for game notes as needed. If that doesn't work contact Steve Rohwer and he can email you the file.

Officials use game cards to record pertinent information. In addition to the things already printed on the card, other things officials should note (on the back) are: quarter and time of Unsportsmanlike Conduct fouls (e.g. "#16 Liberty 4:49 2nd, UNS taunt"), sideline warnings (e.g. "1st SW 8:44 1stQ"), ejections (give player # and brief description of incident), name of the snapper (umpires), name of "get back" coach, ball boy name, or any other info deemed helpful.


Typically only the back judge records all fouls in varsity games, unless another person on the sideline is assigned the task.
