Stat Categories & Outcomes

StatSetter tracks volleyball statistics using standard categories aligned with NCAA conventions. Each category has specific outcomes that determine whether the play was a success, error, or neutral touch.

Attack

Records hitting attempts — kills, errors, and zero attacks.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Kill	Attack lands for a point	✓ Success
Error	Attack goes out, into the net, or is blocked for opponent point	✗ Error
Zero	Attack is dug or kept in play (no point scored)	— Neutral

Tip

Hitting Percentage is calculated from attack stats: (Kills - Errors) / Total Attacks. A hitting percentage above .300 is excellent.

Serve

Records serve attempts — aces, errors, and zero serves.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Ace	Serve lands untouched or causes an error on first contact	✓ Success
Error	Serve goes out, into the net, or foot fault	✗ Error
Zero	Serve is received and play continues	— Neutral

Note

Court position is not prompted for serves — they always originate from Position I (right-back).

Receive

Records serve reception quality.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Receive	Clean pass to the setter, enabling an attack	✓ Success
Error	Failed reception resulting in a point for the serving team	✗ Error
Zero	Reception is playable but not ideal — limits attack options	— Neutral

Set

Records setting attempts.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Assist	Set leads directly to a kill	✓ Success
Error	Ball handling error, double contact, or set into the net	✗ Error
Zero	Set is playable but doesn’t result in a kill	— Neutral

Dig

Records defensive plays on attacked balls.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Dig	Successfully defends an attack and keeps the ball in play	✓ Success
Error	Attack gets through the defense for a point	✗ Error

Block

Records blocking attempts at the net.

Outcome	When to Use	Success?
Solo	One blocker stops the attack for a point	✓ Success
Assist	Two or more blockers combine for a point — each blocker gets a block assist	✓ Success
Error	Net violation, reaching over, or touch that deflects out	✗ Error

Tip

Block Assists count as half a block in the points formula. If two players block together, give each a Block Assist.

Team Error

Records unforced team errors that don’t belong to a specific player — such as rotation violations, net violations without a clear player, or communication errors.

• No player selection required
• Always recorded as an error

Point

Used to record a point without attributing it to a specific stat category. Useful for tracking score when you missed the specific play.

Timeout

Records a timeout called by either team. Useful for tracking momentum shifts and timeout patterns.
