A simple scoreboard spreadsheet for lockdown Zoom games

Here’s a simple spreadsheet that serves as a handy scoreboard to keep track of who is winning your Zoom games. While there’s not much to it, feel free to save a copy to your Google Docs folder. We’ve been playing some Jackbox Party Pack, which keeps score for you, but I could see how there could be other situations (competitive Zoom rock paper scissors?) where you could have your own scoreboard.

Anyways, basically the only calculations involved are the Sum() and Rank() functions. I added in a little bit of formatting (freezing at Row 9 if the game goes many rounds, and shading every other row).

Stay Safe and enjoy!
