Card integrity inspection log template for venues and educators

An inspection log records deck condition, handling context and review decisions. It documents observations; a completed entry alone does not prove marking, intent or a person's conduct.

Our downloadable template focuses on objective observations: seal condition, handler logs, table lighting consistency, surface scratches, edge bending, and review initials. These records help identify card wear and manufacturing flaws.

The original CSV contains a header and one fictional training example row, not a real incident or private player record. Use the separate header-only copy for new local records, or delete the example row. Completed records should follow the responsible organization's privacy and access rules.

Each row should describe one observable event or inspection decision. Use stable deck identifiers, ISO-formatted dates, neutral condition terms, and file references for photographs rather than embedding sensitive personal data. When a deck is replaced, record the reason, approver, storage location, and replacement identifier. Facilitators can add local fields, but they should publish a short data dictionary so every reviewer interprets values such as opened, damaged, quarantined, and cleared in the same way.

A good workflow protects both evidence and privacy. Limit editing access, keep an original copy, record revisions, and define a retention period appropriate to the venue or class. Do not place player accusations, payment details, or unrelated contact information in the log. Pair the template with the card marking detection checklist for inspection steps and the poker cheating prevention guide for escalation, equipment review, and replacement controls.
