How are most rec leagues keeping scorebook?

I found that most commercial scorebooks are overkill for our small league. I saw no need to use a big - 2 page per game. I went ahead and designed and use a both teams on one 8-1/2 by 11 sheet of paper, and have plenty of room for running score, team fouls, personal fouls, and other relevant info, but not all that wasted space.

I am thinking of putting my design on ebay - for a modest fee-- 4 or 5 bucks you can download it, and print out as many as you need. It is built in MS Word. It seems that could save small rec leagues some money, and be more efficient. Downside is you would not neccessarily have all scoresheets bound into one single book, as most commercial books are, although you could 3 hole punch and put in notebook, or even print out 60 or so, and have kinkos spiral bind for 2 bucks... and a league would still save a lot of money.

Any market out there for this, or would I be wasting my time.

If you google search basketball scorebooks and free downloads, you'll see that there are a ton of freeware solutions. So you might make a few bucks, but I wouldn't be planning any early retirement.

Sounds like a FIBA scoresheet. Let the bashing begin...

That's sure an ugly scoresheet.

Most coaches prefer a book because it keeps all of the game results together. And scorebooks are not all that expensive to deal with. Now if you came up with HC bench seat belts as an idea....

I like that idea . Then they would actually have to be seat belted and not just supposed to be sitting down.

Seat belted, why stop there? Add the shoulder straps like in race cars.

I can see the coach now, heading to the court and being jolted by the 'ZZZTZT" back to the bench
