Lineup & Rotations

How Lineups Work

StatSetter uses the standard 6-position volleyball rotation system. Your lineup is a snapshot of which player is in each position at any given moment.

Position Layout

         ┌─── NET ───┐
         │            │
   IV    │   III      │   II      ← Front row
         │            │
    V    │    VI      │    I      ← Back row
         │            │
         └────────────┘

Position I (right-back) is always the serving position.

Setting Up Your Lineup

1. In the Track Stats view, the rotation grid shows 6 positions
2. Click any empty position to assign a player from your roster
3. Fill all 6 positions to complete your starting lineup
4. The lineup is saved and captured with every stat you record

Rotations

When your team wins a side-out (wins the rally when the opponent was serving), click the Rotate button. Players shift one position clockwise:

Before	After
Position I →	Position VI
Position II →	Position I (server)
Position III →	Position II
Position IV →	Position III
Position V →	Position IV
Position VI →	Position V

Substitutions

To substitute a player:

1. Double-click the position in the rotation grid
2. Select the replacement player from the roster
3. The new player takes that position immediately

Why Lineups Matter

Every stat event in StatSetter captures a lineup snapshot — a record of exactly which player was in each position when the play happened. This powers several features:

Rotation Analysis

In Statistics → Visualize, you can see:

• Success rate by rotation — which lineup positions produce the most kills, aces, and points
• Serves per rotation — how long your team stays in each rotation
• Kills by position — where your offense is strongest

Position-Based Filtering

In a future release of Stats Explorer, you can filter stats by:

• Which rotation your team was in
• Which player was in which position
• Front-row vs. back-row performance

Caution

If no lineup is set when you record a stat, the rotation snapshot will be empty and rotation analysis won’t work for those plays. Always set up your lineup before tracking.

Tips

• Set your lineup at the start of each set — lineups don’t carry over between sets
• Rotate after every side-out — even if you forget to track the point, keep rotations accurate
• Use the grid for player selection — clicking a player in the grid pre-selects them for the next stat, which is faster than using the stat buttons first
