PRINTING
Print Class 5A
Use 36 × 24-inch paper, landscape, at 100% / actual size. Download the PDF for the sharpest bracket lines and text; the web preview is for viewing.
For a print shop, send the downloaded PDF with those dimensions. On mobile, save it to Files or downloads first. A single letter-size print will make the team names very small.
