Forty-Fives (45s) tournament punch card generator
Built for Merrimack Valley MA/NH-style 45s club nights and fundraiser tournaments.

Free, no account, and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type leaves this page.
Set up your tournament
Team names (optional)
Names print on the table assignment and punch cards — enter each partnership however you like (e.g. “Anderson & Ortiz”). Leave any team blank to use its number instead.
Round 1 starting tables
This is a starting table assignment only. Once play begins, which table each partnership moves to next depends on who actually wins — no printout can know that in advance. See the reference sheet below.
Event: ______________________ Date: ____________
Punch cards
One card per team — cut them apart and hand them out. Mark or punch a box each time that team wins a hand.
For the organizer: how table movement works
Merrimack Valley 45s club and fundraiser nights are typically run in partnerships of two, seated at tables of six players (three partnerships) where the table count allows it. Play runs in short sets of hands; when a set ends, the winning partnership usually moves on to a different — often tougher — table, while the losing partnership stays where they are. Because that movement depends on real results at each table, it can only happen live, on paper, as the evening plays out; nothing printed in advance can assign it. The exact pace and house rule for when partnerships move can vary a little from hall to hall, so check with your event's dealer or organizer if you're unsure.
A typical Merrimack Valley 45s evening runs on the order of 25 hands, which is why the punch cards default to 25 boxes — adjust the hands-per-card setting above before printing if your event runs shorter or longer.
A forty-fives tally card generator printable for your whole roster, in one action
Every team, one action. Enter your whole roster once and get numbered win-tracking punch cards for every team plus a round-1 table assignment, printed together — not typed up one card at a time by hand.
Honest about what it computes. This is not a card tournament schedule generator and it does not claim to know who plays where in round 2 or beyond — the real live “winners move, losers stay” format can't be pre-computed. What it reliably gives you is the round-1 seating and a full set of print-ready punch cards, plus a plain-language reference sheet for the part that happens live.
Free, no account, no app to install. Everything runs in your browser and prints straight to Letter or A4 paper — nothing to sign up for at the hall.
45s tournament kits, quickly
What does a 45s tournament punch card generator actually print?
Three things in one pass: a numbered win-tracking punch card for every team on your roster, a round-1 starting table assignment, and a reference sheet explaining how table movement works during the evening. It's a punch card generator and a round-1 seating tool, not a multi-round scheduler.
Does this include a 45s club tournament table assignment sheet?
Yes — the round-1 starting tables print as their own sheet, grouped by table with every team's name listed. It only covers the starting assignment, since later table moves depend on who wins.
Is this a Merrimack Valley 45s tournament fundraiser kit printable?
Yes. It's scoped specifically to the Merrimack Valley MA/NH club and fundraiser tradition of 45s — weekly club nights and fundraiser tournaments — not the Atlantic Canada “Auction 45s”/120s rule variants, which score and play differently.
Why 1–25 on the punch cards by default?
A typical club evening runs on the order of 25 hands, so 25 boxes is a sensible starting point — the hands-per-card setting is adjustable from 10 to 50 if your event runs shorter or longer.
Does this schedule round 2 and later rounds for me?
No, and it's not meant to. The dominant real-world format moves winning partnerships to a new table live, based on actual results, which a printed schedule can't predict. This tool prints the round-1 starting tables and hands the rest of the evening to the players and their punch cards, with the reference sheet explaining the live movement rule.
Is this for individual players or partnerships?
Partnerships (teams of two), matching the real club/fundraiser format. Enter each partnership as one team — a name like “Anderson & Ortiz” works well — and each partnership gets one shared punch card.
