So I’ve seen these same scorepads customized with Wholesale Chess, US Chess, Chess.com, and one local club. I’m usually really good at googling for this sort of thing, but am failing. Does anyone know where I can buy these customized for my own new club?
Suggestions also welcome for a good printable template I could customize myself for free.
You’re a brave person.
I haven’t been able to find these for purchase, possibly because the carbon copy setup in the standard scoresheets isn’t easily customizeable.
But here are 3 templates, one Excel and 2 PDFs (the second PDF clearly originally created in Excel).

Talk to any good print shop, they have blank stock for duplicate score sheets. You might have to buy 10,000 of them to get a good price, though.

I haven’t tried it yet but I think Office Depot could do it for about 30 cents a black and white score sheet at rates of up to 250.
Prices at a Kinkos/Fedex or Office Depot will be much higher than at a true print shop.
@elizae what type of customization are you looking for? Just swapping out the logo?
Yes, exactly that. It’s just a little detail that doesn’t particularly matter, but that I’d love to have to kind of boost my new club’s legitimacy in its early days just a tiny bit.
Got it! That is actually one of the things we are doing with Chess Nut is providing a resource center to download things like score sheets. There should be a first cut of it in the next day or so! You’d have to download and print it, but it would incorporate your logo

How does something like this look to you, @elizae ?
We can always try to tweak it a bit, but this version is available now for download from your club page. It will take your logo and club name and add it to the top.
I’m sure this will find a better home eventually, but right now it is on your club page in the quick links area (and is hidden on mobile or small screens)

This is great! I think the only extra I’d personally want on it is a spot for time control. I thinks some folks might be interested in having signature boxes on the bottom as well.

Good point, how would you feel about repurposing the ‘opening’ to time control? I think opening is least necessary on a score sheet since most people will digitally transcribe the games later. It is also already captured in the moves
That’d work for me. I’ve personally never used that opening box in my scorebook 
Ditto 
it’s updates

Looking good! I printed one out. My logo may have a little too much detail for the small size. It’s a bit hard to make out, but still looks pretty good on there I think. There’s a pretty big border available all around that you could probably steal a little more space from.
I personally think it might look better with the club name centered (but logo still left) but that’s just a personal preference and I am definitely not known for my eye for design!

Looks great! I made the logo 15% bigger and added some padding to the numbered cells. It isn’t an enormous difference, but hopefully it helps a bit. Hope these work out for you. I think yours look awesome

great - i made one more tweak to take out a bit more of the white space btw. I’ll leave it like this for a while. Let me know if you have any other feedback on them later. Also, we will probably be adding a branded quad sheet too if people are interested

There have been cases where players have been sanctioned or at least warned for filling out the ‘opening’ box during the event, as this could be construed to be a form of note-taking, which is prohibited.

If the scoresheet was provided by the event organizer, then I would appeal any such warning or sanction all the way to Rules or TDCC, if needed. If it was my scoresheet, I would grumble and comply, then never attend events by this director again.
