Sample Scoresheet
The TBA YLD Mock Trial Committee revised the official score sheet in 2006 to make it more user-friendly. The new version also does away with the overall team performance category, as this was the subject of much confusion in prior years when scorers used the box to subtotal scores instead of awarding a separate score. With this change, the revised score sheet has a maximum of 110 points, as opposed to 120 points in prior years. District coordinators are free to use this score sheet during local competitions; however, it is not necessary to do so.
