Everything here lives under Actions on a round or a contest. These documents are read-only: Super Admins, Admins, Auditors and Tabulators can all produce them. Some need results first, so compute the round before you print its tabulation sheet.

  • Generate tabulation sheet: a PDF of how the placements were worked out, entrant by entrant. It needs a computed round.
  • Export raw scores: every score as entered, as a CSV or an XLSX (Excel) file. You pick the format, and a notification with a Download button appears when it is ready. The entry shows only once the round has scores.

For a single award, open the contest's Awards tab and choose Generate tabulation sheet on the award's row. It appears only on awards that have a tabulation sheet. See Set up awards.

Sheets are for checking, not for the audience. Tabulation sheets and scoresheets are working papers for staff. The audience sees results only after you release them.
Nothing to export? If no judge has submitted a scorecard, Tallybox says "Nothing to export" and makes no file. If an export for the same round or contest is already running, wait for it to finish first.
