If you run quizzes as either (or both) social events or fundraisers you might be interested in the Small Charity Support Quiz Score Board.
Written in MS-Excel®, it can easily be adapted to suit your own particular event.
The spreadsheet includes an Instructions page to tell you how to do that.
The spreadsheet allows the scorers to keep an tally of the scores table-by-table, round-by-round with automatic calculation of accumulated scores to highlight which table is currently in the lead.
If your quiz includes double-points "Joker" rounds, it can automatically calculate and show those, too.
And if you have projection facilities, you can display the scoreboard for everyone to see how they are doing "in real time".
The updated (Oct'24) version of the spreadsheet now contains two alternative scoring schemes {illustrated right}:
Scoreboard: The Teams/Tables in columns and the Quiz Rounds in rows with the highest-scoring table highlighted at the bottom:
Leaderboard: The Quiz Rounds in columns and the Teams/Tables in rows with the facility to auto-sort the Teams/Tables by their scores at the end of each Quiz Round - putting the highest scoring leaders at the top and the other Teams/Tables in descending order.
To download the spreadsheet just click on its image (right) and take it from there.
Note: to reduce the risk of "clumsy fingers" creating inadvertent errors while scoring, many of the cells in the spreadsheets are password-locked. To use the spreadsheet, please e-mail
