Why send a name check sheet?
A misspelled name on a composite means a reprint, and families notice. Checking names before printing is cheaper than fixing prints afterwards. A sheet with the photos next to the names lets the coach spot a swapped photo, a wrong number or a nickname in one look.
What's on the sheet?
- A "Name check" title, the team name, league and season.
- Two lines of instructions: check the spelling of every name and each jersey number, tick each correct box, circle mistakes and write the right spelling next to them.
- A 5 × 5 grid: each photo with a tick box, the full name and the jersey number (or Coach for coaches).
- A footer with the number of people and "Page 1 of 2" when a team has more than 25 people.
| Page size | US letter, 8.5 × 11" |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 150 dpi: 1275 × 1650 pixels |
| People per page | 25 (5 × 5); bigger teams get more pages |
| Format | JPEG, 150 dpi set in the file |
| File names | Hawks U12 - Name check.jpg, or Hawks U12 - Name check (page 2).jpg |
What does red text on the sheet mean?
Red marks something missing. "NAME MISSING" means RosterFrame couldn't read a name from the file name or roster CSV. "No number" means jersey numbers are turned on but this player has none. Fix those in the roster before you send the sheet, or let the coach fill them in.
How do I make name check sheets for every team?
- Import your team folders into RosterFrame. Names and numbers come from the file names or a roster CSV.
- For one team, click Name check sheet in that team's roster. For the whole league, open Export and tick Name check sheets.
- Email each coach their team's sheet, fix the names they mark, then export the final prints.
Name check sheets are never watermarked and are free like everything else during the beta. They fit right after picture day in the picture day checklist, and they work the same way for class composites with a teacher instead of a coach.
