Help
I've never seen those one-sided score sheets. They're probably more expensive simply because they're not as popular.
I wrote to the Bulletin at least 5 years ago suggesting two-sided score sheets, and they pubished it. With so many companies trying to be "green" these days, I'm really annoyed they still haven't done it.

It's always amused me that you can buy "score sheets" with no CC on the other side, but that rather than print another score sheet there, the ACBL (or Baron-Barclay now, I guess) just leaves it blank. And they're more expensive than the score sheet/CC combination.
We could have some fun with the opponents. Instead of using the back of a scoresheet from a previous session, we could dummy-up some silly results which appear to be an incomplete scorecard for this session. Let em try to cop a board

It seems I was wrong about this, at least in part. 100 CC-with-score-sheet costs $3.00, but you can get bulk discounts. 500 costs $2.39x5= $11.95. The score-sheets-on-one-side are described as "Western style", are 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" (so smaller than the CC) and cost $7.95, so they are a bit cheaper. No bulk discount on those. Even the largest bulk discount on the CCs only brings the price for 500 down to $8.20.

I read this "two-sided" conversation and boggled, as we've been using two-sided pairs sheets for years.

I seem to recall the "remarks" form double-sided as well, but I can't see them at the moment.
