First Match

Quick Start

Use this guide when you are courtside and need the shortest reliable path to a usable match record.

Quick answer: Create or choose your team, start a match, confirm the lineup and first server, then choose the right scoring path: tap the score for score-only rallies, or select player cards first when you want tracked stats.

The home screen keeps the fastest paths near the top: resume a match, enter an event, start Quick Match, or watch a live match.

1. Choose your setup path

For a one-off match, use Quick Match. Choose Just Score if you only need score, serve, and timeouts, or set up a lineup if you want player stats. For a season, tournament, or repeated roster, create a season and event first so matches stay organized.

  1. Open VolleyTrack and choose Quick Match or an existing event.
  2. Enter your team name, opponent, and match format.
  3. Add or review the roster before starting the lineup.

2. Confirm the lineup

VolleyTrack uses rotation positions P1 through P6. P1 is the server when your team serves first. A practical match-day pattern is to enter the actual six-player lineup the referee checks first, then bring the libero into the back-row spot where they will play after the lineup is accepted.

Quick Match is best when you need to start fast and organize details later.
  1. Place the six starting players in rotation order.
  2. After the lineup is checked, use the substitute/libero flow if a libero enters for a back-row player.
  3. Confirm the first server when prompted.

3. Score the match

The live screen supports two different speeds of scoring. Use the scoreboard taps when you only need the score. When you want stats, start with the player cards, then choose the action and rating.

4. Save and review

When the match ends, finish the match from the set modal or match menu. Review the summary for set scores, player stats, and optional AI analysis.

Do not rush finalization. Confirm the final score before finishing the match. If the score is wrong, correct the score before advancing.
