Football: Pages, Sizing & Paper

• “1-pager” = 1 sheet double-sided or 2 sheets single-sided.
• “2-pager” = 2 sheets double-sided or 4 sheets single-sided.

One-Pager

• Defense above opposing Offense on each side of the page. 
• Compact for small spaces, but less space for information.

Two-Pager

• One team per sheet, Offense on one side of the page and Defense on the other side. 
• When printed double-sided “on the long edge,” the two sheets taped together put the line of scrimmage in between.
• Room for lots of information, but may feel cumbersome.

Comparing Paper Sizes

Our charts can be printed on a variety of paper sizes. Our recommended default is Tabloid, 11” x 17”.

• Tabloid 11x17”
  
  • Our default size.
  • Booth 1-pager or 2-pager, but sideline on 1-pager only because 2-pager may require more booth or table top area. 
• Letter 8.5x11”
  
  • Popular with sideline reporters.
• Legal 8.5x14”
  
  • Booth or sidelines. 
  • 1- or 2-pagers
• Arch B 12x18”
  
  • Best for lots of notes & biggest font sizes.
  • 1-pager or 2-pager, but likely too big for sidelines.
  • Requires more booth or table top area.
  • Uncommon paper size, which can be hard to source at some print shops.

Paper Weight

• 80-100# is our default
• Uncoated paper is best; avoid glossy because that’s going to smear.
• Paper is measured by weight in pounds & thickness in points.
• Standard copy paper is 24-36#, too thin & flimsy.
• 60-80# is considered “cardstock” and works fine.
• 100-110# is considered “coverstock,” which is too heavy for some.

Football: Chart Preferences & Customization

Printing & Page Layout

‍

PRINTED SINGLE OR DOUBLE-SIDED

• Our default is to print the charts Double-sided, which makes it easy to flip over on each possession change.
• Single-sided is preferred for tacking to a board or attaching to booth windows or walls.

‍

MARGINS 

• Default paper margin is a 1/4-inch margin.
• Options for 98%, 95%, and 90% margins with corresponding font size adjustments.

‍

›› Default ¼ inch Margins

‍

›› 90% margins

‍

LINED OR OPEN SPACES

Player boxes have more lines or open space for stars, less for backups, and none for scrubs.

‍

Lined is default, used by 95% of clients. Open boxes offer the same amount of space without the lines 

Player Display & Ordering

‍

INDIVIDUAL PLAYER STATS

• Player Stats are always included by default, but can be optionally removed for more space.
• We include stats for Last Game (L), Season (S), and Career (C).

‍

RBs, WRs, TEs: ORDERING & POSITIONING

‍

›› Numeric

Players are ordered by jersey number.

‍

›› Depth Chart Order

Players are listed in the order they appear on the depth chart.

‍

›› WRs Left Positioning

WR’s are positioned on the right by default, but can optionally be positioned on the left. This helps if you want to read your WR’s first before your TE.

‍

›› TEs Right Positioning

TE’s are positioned on the left by default, but can optionally be positioned on the right, next to the WR’s. They are lined up like a QB would see the field. This adds more space around the QB and RB positions.

‍

›› Receivers Split

‍Wide Receivers are combined into a single position by default, but can optionally be split into separate positions. This lets you see the players how they might line up on the field, and can give you more room for notes.

‍

CORNERBACKS POSITIONING

By default, the Cornerbacks are positioned on the outside of the Safeties.

The cornerbacks can optionally be positioned on the outside of the Defensive Line.

‍

RETURN SPECIALISTS

By default, all return specialists will appear next to the DBs on the Defense side of the chart.

Return specialists can optionally be removed from the chart. This provides more space on the defense, and is usually used by analysts who do not need return info.

‍

Team & Game Data

‍

TEAM SCHEDULES, RESULTS & STATS

By default we include Team Schedules & Results and Team Stats. These can be optionally removed from the chart for extra space.

‍

SPECIAL TEAMS

By default, special teams are included on the Offense and Defense sides of the chart, but they can optionally be moved to a separate special teams page, or removed altogether.

‍

›› Return Special Team Defensive Side

‍

›› Special Teams on Offensive Side  

›› Special Teams on Separate Page

Special teams positions are moved to a separate 3rd page.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Chart Orientation & Visual Style

‍

INVERTED

By default, the Defense side faces the bottom edge of the chart and the Offense faces the top, as if the teams are facing the line of scrimmage on the field. We can optionally invert the chart so that these are reversed, with the Defense side facing the top edge of the chart and the offense facing the bottom edge.

‍

1-99 GRID LAYOUT

This “2 pager” layout has players listed numerically, right to left, top to bottom. This allows for finding player numbers quickly and easily.

‍

VERTICAL COLUMNS LAYOUT

This layout groups all Defensive positions into vertical columns instead of individual positions.

Roster Display Options

‍

ROSTER ON CHART — NFL ONLY

We can include the NFL whole team roster on the side of the chart for quick reference.

‍

SEPARATE ROSTER PAGE

We can include both team’s rosters side-by-side on a separate page. You can use this separately or can be attached to your chart.

‍

SPOTTER VERSION

We provide a chart version designed for a spotter. Sidebar optional.
