Reporting Game Scores and Peeling Abbreviations

In gerneral, the winner is mentioned first and only the difference in the scores is reported, so instead of
Player A 26 Player B 22
you should write
Player A beat Player B +4

The only exception is when reporting team events, where the winning team's names are reported first - make sure you note which team is the home team too. Occasionally a home side is named first, regardless of who won.

When reporting doubles, list both players joined with an ampersand. If reporting peeling breaks in doubles, indicate the initial player of the relevant turn in brackets after the result.
(e.g. Fulford & Clarke beat Bamford & Gibbons +26 tp (F))

Leave a blank line to indicate different sessions. When game has gone to the time limit, without either side pegging out, follow the score with (t). So, for example:

Pendle beat Hurlingham 6-2 at Hurlingham

Player A & Player B beat Player 1 & Player 2 +7
Player C lost to Player 3 -6(t)
Player D beat Player 4 +4

Player A beat Player 1 +26
Player B beat Player 2 +20
Player C lost to Player 3 -11(t)
Player D beat Player 4 +20
