Read a match's analytics

The Traditional box score and the Advanced view — including what EPA and WPA actually mean.

Open Stats and the latest match loads (or pick one — the picker also lets you tick several matches into one combined view). Every number on the page is computed live from the match's touch log; nothing is hand-entered. Open in review → jumps to the film.

Start by checking "My team" — the side that started near the camera is the default, and one click fixes it if that's wrong.

The Traditional tab

The classic box score, one team at a time, with skill tabs (All · Serve · Reception · Attack · Set · Dig · Block) that swap in each skill's own columns. The Column key under the table defines every abbreviation in plain words — kills (K), hitting efficiency (PCT), aces (SA), passer rating (RTG), and the rest. Outcome columns are derived from rally flow (the winner of a rally serves the next one), so no scoreboard is needed.

Touches without a name land in an Unidentified row rather than being guessed — mapping them is player identification.

The Advanced tab

The lens the box score misses: kill counts weight every attack the same, while EPA and WPA weight each touch by how much it actually moved the score and the match.

  • EPA — Expected Points Added. How many points a player produced compared with what an average player would get from the same situations, summed over the match. +3 means about three points better than average.
  • WPA — Win Probability Added. How much a player's touches changed the team's chance of winning. +10% means their touches moved the team from, say, a 50% chance to 60%.

Hover (or tap) the WPA and EPA column headers in the app for these same definitions. The Advanced tab holds:

  • a KPI strip — touches, rallies, Team EPA, Team WPA, sideout rate, and how much of the match is identified;
  • Impact leaders — everyone who touched the ball, sorted by EPA, negatives included (players who cost their team are visible, not hidden);
  • Skill impact — EPA per player on one skill at a time, total or per-100-touches;
  • High-leverage moments — the biggest win-probability swings, each a link into the film;
  • Match momentum — the win-probability curve across the whole match.

What's open on which plan

The score and every rally are open to the whole team on every match. The box score, leaders, and momentum unlock with a pass — the page tells you exactly which one. See plans and passes.
