    Because I'm relatively green to the board, I don't know where to find PMs. Did a quick scan of the site and didn't find anything. Little help here.

    You should see a link at the top of the page that says 'messages (1)'. Click that and voila.

    A guy at my shop uses five legal pads and four pens. Works really well for him.

    If you're also keeping play-by-play (which you should be) there's no need for the first number. Just keep the running total.

    Player 5 15 27 31

    Saves you a little bit of time writing shit down between plays, and as a first-timer, you'll need all the time you can get. Also, take binoculars if you have them. You'll be glad you did.

    I gave that sheet a trial run last week and didn't love it. I'll be returning to my old standby tonight.
