During The Match

Live Scoring

The live screen is designed for two real courtside jobs: simple scorekeeping when the match is moving fast, and player-level stat tracking when you have time to enter the rally cleanly.

Quick answer: Tap the score only when you just need the point. For stats, select the player or players first, choose the action, then choose the result or rating. Undo the last mistake immediately, and use score correction for older errors.

The live screen keeps score, server, rotation, and common stat actions visible while the match is moving.

Score-only rallies

  1. Tap the side that won the point.
  2. Let VolleyTrack update the score and serving team. When your team wins serve back, the tracked lineup rotates automatically.
  3. Use this path when preserving the scoreboard matters more than recording the full stat sequence.

If you start a Quick Match in Just Score mode with no roster, VolleyTrack hides the lineup cards, stat grid, substitutions, and voice input. That mode is intentionally focused on score, serve, and timeouts.

Stat-tracked rallies

Do not tap the score first when you want player stats. Start with the player cards, then choose the action and rating so VolleyTrack can update the score from the result.

What changes the score: Aces, kills, and blocks add a point for your team. Serve errors, attack errors, Error Point receives, drops, passing errors, and setting errors add a point for the opponent. Good serves, receive ratings, Error No Point receives, good attacks, and digs keep the rally moving without changing the score.

Side-outs and rotation

If the rally creates a side-out, VolleyTrack changes the serving team and advances your rotation when your team wins serve back. If a libero would rotate to the front row, the app can automatically swap the libero out according to the saved pairing.

Timeouts

Tap the TO control under the team calling timeout. VolleyTrack tracks remaining timeouts for the set with dots under each team and disables the button at zero. Timeout counts reset for each set from the match rules.

Substitutions

The live Subs row shows your team's remaining substitutions for the set. Long-press an occupied live court card to open the substitute sheet; tapping a player card selects that player for stats.

Use undo correctly

Undo is intended for the most recent current-set action. It should restore score, serving team, rally state, rotation, substitutions, timeouts, libero/sub pairing state, and any immediate side-out rotation or libero auto-swap from that action.

Best practice: If the last tap was wrong, undo immediately. If the mistake happened several rallies ago, use score correction instead.

Correct the score

Long-press the score to correct the number when the scoreboard and real match diverge. Score correction does not recalculate serving team, rally state, rotation, or history, so use it for the score only.

End sets deliberately

When a set reaches the target, choose the correct modal action: Keep Playing to close the modal only, Correct Score to return to the live screen and edit the score, Start Next Set to advance, or Finish Match to end the match.
