how to set up euchre tournament score sheets
North American Euchre
In Canada and the USA, Euchre is played without a joker, so that there are just 24 cards in the deck, and the right bower is the highest trump. The target score is 10 points (not 11). The score is indicated by using two low cards overlapped - some use a six and a four, some use two fives, and some use a two and a three like this:
euchre scoring with cards
In the USA any player, including the dealer's partner, is allowed to order up the up-card and play with a partner. In other places - Australia, England and Canada - if the dealer's partner orders the card up, he/she must play alone; therefore the dealer's cards are laid face-down and the dealer does not play the hand.
Some people do not allow a defender to play alone - only the maker is allowed to play alone. Some only allow a defender to play alone against a lone maker.
In Canada it is not usual for the cards to be cut before dealing, and in many groups the cards are dealt one at a time, rather than in twos and threes..
A common method of choosing the first dealer is to deal the cards around until a black jack appears.
Stick the Dealer (also known as "Screw the dealer"). In this variation the dealer cannot pass a second time when naming the trump suit. On the second round, if the first three players pass, the dealer must name a suit. This variation is often played when playing time is constrained.
The Super-Euchre A "Super-Euchre" occurs when the making team takes zero tricks. Some play that the defending team then scores 4 points.
Railroading. This is a variation in which, if your partner is going to play alone, you may pass your partner a card (your best card) face down. Before looking at this card partner must choose whether to discard a card from hand and take the card offered in exchange, or to discard the offered card.
Some people play that if the first three players pass, the dealer is only allowed to take up the turned trump if already holding at least one trump in hand. For this purpose, the left bower is not counted as a trump.
How to set up a Euchre Card Tournament or Party Step1 
Make your own chart on a large sheet of paper or order a Tournament Euchre Chart on line. Create a chart on a large sheet of paper or poster board (20" x 15') with a column for names on the left with a line for each of players. There should be additional columns to the right of the name column for each round played. After the first round, make a horizontal slash in the box to keep the score for the individual round on the top and a running total for each round in the bottom of each box. Or, to really make it easy and fun, you can order a Tournament Euchre chart on line which comes with a dry-erase pen and table rotations for 8 to 20 players at www.tournamenteuchre.com. 
Add player names in the left column and their scores as the play progresses. Players should put their names in the far left column on the chart. Each round score is added as players progress around the card tables. Each player at the table deals twice, so that there are 8 euchre hands played per table. Scores are kept on the usual score cards at each table after each hand (usually 4‘s and 6‘s from the deck) and then recorded on the chart at the end of each round for each player. 
The final winner has the highest total at the end of all the rounds. After Round 1, players should rotate so that everyone plays with a different player every round. Put your score for Round 2 at the top box and your total for all rounds in the bottom. Continue adding scores as the tournament progresses. Play continues until all players have played each other, or the decided number of rounds have been played. The person with the most points at the end of all the rounds is the tournament winner.
