Who Scores

How do you get the points?

Before you start tallying, it's good to think about what you want to tally.
Maybe you find it helpful to keep track of something different each match. One week focusing on the serve and the next match keeping an eye on blocking. Or maybe looking at where the opponent scores points. Or who on their team is not passing well. Or ...
Quite a lot to keep track of.

When you watch international matches, you often see those beautiful overviews during the set change. What percentage the attackers are scoring. The number of service errors and often even an image of the field, filled with pins for the positions where the serve landed. But there is also a whole team of people around the field keeping track of all that. The coach has an earpiece, through which he can be fed with current information constantly. And while we are looking at those overviews, the coach already has the same information on paper. As mentioned, thanks to a whole troop of assistants. But we, ordinary mortals, do it alone or, if we're lucky, have an assistant on the bench. In privileged cases, maybe even two assistants. But even then, it's impossible to keep track of so much information 100% accurately.

But what if you could keep track of all important things alone, on no more than one A4 per set? Admittedly, if you are alone, it's not desirable to have to focus on tallying all actions. But with the input of a willing volunteer and a bit of help from Volleyball software, you can still get a long way.

Soon, there will be a link to a pdf with detailed information about this application, but first two more things:

1. A large part of the value of your tally marks lies in the analysis of the match. Afterwards, of course. But even during the match, you can draw conclusions with a quick glance. In my experience, players often come to look at the results between sets. Some get a big boost from it. 
2. Volleyball Software wouldn't add much if you just got a template with actions you can tally. So read on after that A4, to see what you can do with it (after the match, when you're quietly at home behind the PC).
