TeamCounter guide
Online tally templates
Download five usable tally templates for drinks, attendance, game scores, event tasks and equipment returns. Each example includes actual sample values, steps for the web tool and its limits.
Five examples to print and recreate
All data below are synthetic examples. Open the HTML files to print them or save as PDF through the browser. CSV files are spreadsheet examples; they do not create a TeamCounter list and are not imported automatically. Create links open an empty tool.
Drink list for an office or shared home
| Person / item | Entries | Price (EUR) | Total (EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Person A – Water | 2 | 0.50 | 1.00 |
| Person A – Juice | 1 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| Person B – Water | 1 | 0.50 | 0.50 |
| Person B – Coffee | 2 | 0.80 | 1.60 |
| Total | 4.10 |
- Open an empty drink list. Add a separate row for each person and item, such as “Person A – Water”.
- Enter the label under “Person”, start at 0 and set the price per entry to 0.50, 1.00 or 0.80.
- Count each drink with one +1. The four rows produce 1.00 + 1.00 + 0.50 + 1.60 = EUR 4.10.
- Person A owes EUR 2.00 and Person B EUR 2.10 in this example. Add each person’s rows yourself and check the result before settling.
Limits: The web tool has one price per row, no item catalogue and no automatic subtotal across a person’s rows. The default price is a starting value for new rows. Check prices before adding rows; a price of 0 is replaced by the default in the current form. This is not a cash register or an invoice.

Attendance for three group sessions
| Session | Participant | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-07 | Participant 1 | present |
| 2026-09-07 | Participant 2 | absent |
| 2026-09-07 | Participant 3 | present |
| 2026-09-14 | Participant 1 | present |
| 2026-09-14 | Participant 2 | present |
| 2026-09-14 | Participant 3 | absent |
| 2026-09-21 | Participant 1 | absent |
| 2026-09-21 | Participant 2 | present |
| 2026-09-21 | Participant 3 | present |
- Add three neutral participants. New participants start absent.
- Set the date to 7 September 2026 and save the date. Mark participants 1 and 3 present; the result is 2 present and 1 absent.
- Save the session. Change the date and states for 14 and 21 September using the example and save each session once.
- Correct states before saving by using the participant’s state button. Use this example as a printed record or a separate spreadsheet.
Limits: Only present and absent are supported. Saving the date does not save a session. Saved sessions are snapshots; later state changes do not correct them. The web view shows the latest 6 and keeps at most 120 sessions; history in the CSV export contains session totals only. This example’s per-session participant details are a separate template, not a promised tool export.

Scores for a game night
| Step | Team A | Team B | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | Start |
| 1 | 2 | 0 | A: +2 |
| 2 | 2 | 3 | B: +3 |
| 3 | 5 | 3 | A: +3 |
- Create Team A and Team B with 0 starting points.
- Set steps to 1, 2 and 3 and save them. Count A +2, B +3, A +3: result 5:3.
- Use the view link for readers and the large display for a shared screen. Give management access only to the scorer.
- Correct an accidental +1 with −1. Correct larger errors in steps and check the result.
Limits: The table documents an example sequence. The tool CSV contains the current score and winner, not a complete scoring log. Online display updates may be delayed. This is not tournament management.

Count completed event tasks
| Task | One +1 means | Completed | Target (manual) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | 1 table set up | 4 | 6 |
| Distribution | 1 crate distributed | 3 | 5 |
| Cleanup | 1 table cleared | 0 | 6 |
- Create an online tally list and add Setup, Distribution and Cleanup counters.
- Agree on the unit first: one +1 means one completed unit, not one assigned person.
- Only the person accepting the work counts it. The example still needs 2 tables set up and 2 crates distributed.
- Give management access to coordinators and view access to helpers. Keep targets separately in this print template.
Limits: This is a counting plan, not a rota: no automatic assignment, acceptance, reminders or time recording. The CSV is a separate planning aid and is not imported into the tool.

Reconcile equipment issued and returned
| Item | Issued | Returned | Still out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marker cones | 8 | 6 | 2 |
| Training bibs | 12 | 12 | 0 |
- Create two counters per item at 0: “Cones issued” and “Cones returned”. Repeat for bibs.
- One +1 under issued means exactly one unit issued. A return adds 1 only to the returned counter.
- Subtract returns from issues: 8 − 6 = 2 cones and 12 − 12 = 0 bibs still out.
- Check both numbers before correcting. Use the view link for an overview and management access only at the issue desk.
Limits: Calculate differences yourself; TeamCounter does not link these counters automatically. More returns than issues indicates an input error or an unresolved opening balance. There is no stock control, reservation system, loan contract or individual issue log.

Sharing and opening spreadsheets
CSV: UTF-8 with BOM, semicolon delimiter, decimal point. In Excel use Data → From Text/CSV; in LibreOffice Calc use the text import dialog and check the preview. Print HTML files contain no scripts or embedded third-party content. Import your own labels as text, not as spreadsheet formulas. Only online lists receive shareable links; local browser lists remain in the respective browser.
