Tips for Using Score Sheets
Printing Tips
- Cardstock: More durable than regular paper
- Laminate: Use with dry-erase markers for reuse
- Print multiple: Keep a stack ready for game nights
- Hole punch: Store in a binder for permanent record
Scoring Tips
- Record immediately: Don’t wait until after the game
- Double-check additions: Running totals need accuracy
- Note dealer clearly: D/P helps track alternating deal
- Circle skunk lines: Mark 61 and 91 for quick reference
Storage Ideas
- Game binder: Keep all score sheets together
- Date order: Track progress over time
- Opponent index: See your record against specific players
- Statistics review: Monthly analysis of your play

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you play cribbage without a board?
Yes! Score sheets or pen-and-paper scoring works perfectly. Track each player’s running total after each hand. First to 121 wins. Some players prefer this method because it creates a permanent record.
How do I track cribbage scores on paper?
Create two columns (one per player). After each scoring round (pegging and hand counting), add points to each player’s running total. Continue until someone reaches 121. The rows become a history of the game.
What should a cribbage score sheet include?
At minimum: player names, columns for running scores, and a target line at 121. Better sheets include: dealer indicator, skunk tracking, hand count columns, and space for notes.
How do I run a cribbage tournament on paper?
Use bracket templates for elimination format, or round-robin grids for everyone-plays-everyone. Track wins, losses, and spread (point differential) for tiebreakers. Pre-printed templates make this much easier.
Are there apps for tracking cribbage scores?
Yes, but many players prefer paper for its simplicity and permanent record. Paper score sheets require no battery, work anywhere, and can be saved as game history. They’re especially useful in tournament settings.
