PDF File Names:

If you plan to print your game scoresheets as PDF files which can be saved, sent as e-mail attachments, or uploaded to the Internet, you should print each game scoresheet as a PDF file with a unique name.  If you wish to keep your scoresheets over an extended period of time, it is helpful to establish a systematic set of names.  

For the purpose of organizing your scoresheets, it is recommended that you follow a format similar to this:

  • name or abbreviation for tourney, league, or team
  • year
  • month
  • day

This naming procedure allows for sorting or separating your scoresheets by tournament, league, or team, and then into chronological order.  

  • The 7th game of the 2010 Center Ice Classic may look something like this:  cic_10_g7
  • The Icebreakers game on the January 15, 2010 could look something like this:  icebreakers_10_01_15

First, identify the tournament, the team or the league, then the year, month, and date.  This allows for the chronological sorting the scoresheets by team or tournament, year, month, and date.  

Using the "_" symbol prevents the "%" sign from being automatically inserted into blank spaces within the Internet URL name.
