Printable Pool League Score Sheet

Fill in the teams and the night's matchups, and this builds a score sheet you can print: each player's race or points target, boxes to tick off games, an innings tally, defensive shots and time-outs.

An unofficial sheet for practice nights, home leagues and keeping your own records. For a sanctioned league match, use your league's official scoresheet.

How to keep score on the sheet

Games or points. Tick a box for each game won (8-ball) or write the running points (9-ball). The match ends when a player reaches their number.
Innings. List the lag winner on top. An inning is complete, and gets a stroke, when the player who lost the lag misses or fouls. A break-and-run that ends the game isn't marked. That is how the APA's scoring guide counts innings, and innings are what handicaps are built on.
Defensive shots. Mark any shot taken without trying to pocket a ball. Unless the shooter says it was defensive, the scorekeeper decides. Our APA sandbagging article explains why this column matters more than it looks.
Time-outs. In APA Open play, skill levels 3 and below get two coaching time-outs per game and 4 and up get one. The sheet prints the right number of boxes.
