Round-by-round rotation tracker.

The single bunco hosting headache nobody else solves: "after each round, who moves where?" One sheet maps all 12 players across all 24 rounds. Host marks each player's table (1, 2, or 3) as the night progresses. Visual rotation diagram + rules at the bottom of the sheet so anyone glancing at it can see who goes where.

Bunco Rotation Tracker
What it is:a 12-player × 24-round matrix the host fills in as the rounds progress. Every player's table (1, 2, or 3) for every round, on a single sheet.

Why it works: includes a visual rotation diagram and the standard rules so any player can glance at the sheet and know where to go next — no more standing around waiting for the host to direct traffic.

Starting from scratch?

How to start a bunco club in five steps.

1
Recruit 12 (or 11 + a ghost).
Friends-of-friends works great. If you have 4 people committed, ask each of them to bring two friends — that gets you to 12. Aim for 8 substitutes too so a single absence never cancels the night.
2
Pick a monthly day and lock it in.
"Second Thursday at 7 PM" sticks better than "let's figure it out each month." Print the Yearly Calendar above and fill in all 12 dates at the first meeting — everyone takes a copy home and adds it to their phone.
3
Rotate the hosting.
12 players × 12 months = each person hosts once a year. The host provides the venue + food, plus the bunco bag (dice, bell, traveler). The yearly calendar above has a Host column so this is settled in advance, not negotiated month-by-month.
4
Agree on rules + dues.
Standard 4-set bunco + your house rules. Print our rules sheet (linked below) and pass copies. Set a per-night fee ($5–$10 typical) — the pot becomes prize money. Decide whether you'll do an annual end-of-year prize too.
5
Distribute the roster + calendar. You're a bunco club.
Print the Roster + Subs List, fill it in, share with everyone. Add the Yearly Calendar to the bag. Add the Winners Log if you want to track season-long champions. From here, every meeting is just: print tonight's sign-in sheet, set out the score cards, ring the bell.
Questions new clubs ask

FAQs for new clubs.

How much should we charge per night?

Most bunco groups collect $5–$10 per player per night. The pot becomes the prize money — usually split into prizes for Most Wins, Most BUNCOs, Most Baby BUNCOs, and a consolation Most Losses. Some clubs hold a portion back for an end-of-year prize pool.

What if someone can't make it?

That's what the substitute list is for. Aim for at least 6–8 subs so a single missing regular never cancels the night. The roster + subs list above keeps everyone's contact info in one place — text the group when you need a sub and the first one to reply gets the spot.

Should we have an annual prize?

Many clubs do — the Bunco Winners Log tracks each month's champions across the year, and the Year-End Champions row at the bottom captures the season totals. Common annual prizes: Most Wins of the Year, Most BUNCOs of the Year, Most Baby BUNCOs, and the Final Traveler Holder.

How do we welcome a new member?

First night: hand them a printed copy of the rules sheet and walk them through the score card and table tally. Add them to the roster on the spot. The themed kits at /templates-bunco-themed/ are great for newcomer nights — a halloween or christmas kit gives the night a festive hook beyond the dice.

What food should the host serve?

Bunco food doesn't need to be fancy — finger foods that don't make hands greasy are best (you're constantly handling dice). Cheese boards, bruschetta, mini quiches, dips and crackers, fruit, M&Ms. Many groups rotate: dinner, appetizers, or desserts and cocktails depending on the meeting time. A potluck signup can spread the load.

How do we keep the group going long-term?

Two things: pick a single "organizer" who owns the calendar and roster (avoids the diffusion-of-responsibility problem), and use the Yearly Calendar to lock in 12 dates at the first meeting of the year. Once it's on everyone's calendar, attendance is automatic.
