I recall doing scorecards for baseball games, but 
that's a much slower sport. {Someplace I may 
still have Don Larson's perfect game.) However, I 
once found a page on which a coach describes how he keeps records.

It would have to be modified substantially for 
sword and shield, and even more for pole arms, 
but the following might give someone a few ideas.
