Game setup

When creating a new game you have the ability to track one team or both teams.

One Team Tracking

One team tracking means that you will only be tracking one of the teams. You will still need to manually change the score if the second team scores a point, but you do not have to set up their rotation.

Two Team Tracking

While tracking all the hits for both teams may be impossible on one iPad, two team tracking enables you the option of recording hits for the second team if you want. In addition, setting up the second team's rotation (the main difference between one team and two team tracking) gives you access to their rotation at any point!

Shot Tracking

Manually Changing Score

When a point ends from something other than a kill, tool, or error you will need to manually increase the score by tapping the arrows next to the score.

Switching Sides

In the middle of the third or fifth set the teams switch sides, but for your convenience you can press the Switch Sides button at any time.

The Switch Sides button is in the upper right corner above the Manual Rotate button.

Manual Rotate

While it should be considered a last resort option to using the Undo button, if the rotations get off you can force Shottey to rotate using this button. Tapping the button will bring up an alert that allows you to select the team (if you are Two Team Tracking) and the direction you would like to rotate.

The Manual Rotate button is located in the upper right corner of the screen below the Switch Sides button.

Undo

The undo button will remove the most recent event from Event History and update accordingly. If the most recent event resulted in a score change (kill, tool, error) the undo button will also remove the score change event.

The undo button is located in the upper right of the screen.

Toggle vs Overlay

There are two different ways you can distinguish between hard/soft hits and serve/transition hits.

1. Toggle: When appropriate, change the toggles in the upper left corner from their default states (hard and transition hits) while logging each hit.

   

2. Overlay: The overlays require you to decide if the hit was hard or soft

   

   and if the hit was off of serve receive every time you track a hit.

   

   In the settings panel you have the ability to decide whether or not you would like to see the overlays.

   

Track Shots

The structure for tracking shots is as follows:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap where the ball went

Shottey automatically classifies the type of hit as Kill, Live, Tool, Block, Error based on the various locations of the hits.

Kill

To record a kill:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap the opposite side of the court in bounds* where the ball went
4. Tap the Kill radius button that appears where you tapped in Step 3

*If you tap out of bounds Shottey will classify the hit as an Error.

Live

To record a live ball:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap the opposite side of the court in bounds* where the ball went
4. Tap anywhere in bounds* except the black kill button. The exact location of third tap will not be kept, it is only to distinguish classify the hit as Live rather than Kill.

*If you tap out of bounds Shottey will classify the hit as a Tool.

Tool

To record a tool:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap the opposite side of the court in bounds* where the other team contacted the ball. Usually this will be close to the net since tools are typically touched by the player blocking
4. Tap where the ball went out of bounds

*If you tap out of bounds Shottey will classify the hit as an Error.

Block

To record a block:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap the opposite side of the court in bounds* where the other team contacted the ball (typically at the net)
4. Tap in bounds** where the ball went after being blocked

IMPORTANT: Recording a block does not change the score. Shottey does not differentiate between blocked shots that result in a point and those that do not. If a team scores from a block be sure to Manually Change the Score.

*If you tap out of bounds here Shottey will classify the hit as an Error.

**If you tap out of bounds here Shottey will classify the hit as a Tool.

Error

To record an error:

1. Tap the player who hit the ball
2. Tap the location where the player contacted the ball
3. Tap where the ball went: out of bounds or tap anywhere on the same side of the court as Step 2

Event History

The event history is located at the bottom of the screen. The events are displayed in chronological order from left to right.

Hit Event

The player is on the left and the abbreviation for the type of hit is on the right.

Tapping a hit event will show that hit on the court.

Score Change Event

The left team is on the left and the right team is on the right. The team that scored is in green.

Tapping a score change event will show all the hits from that point on the court.

Substitution Event

The player coming out is on the left and the player coming in for them is on the right.

Visualization

Default Filters:

• One Team Tracking: the court on the left shows the hits for the current rotation by the players in the front row at the time. The court on the right shows all hits.
• Two Team Tracking: each court shows the hits for the current rotation by the players in the front row for each team.

Shottey allows you to filter your hits on a variety of attributes

• Teams
• Players
• Types
• Serve Receive
• Rotations
• Sets
• Location

Teams

If you are tracking one team there will not be a choice for which team you are viewing.

Players

If players are selected, the color of the selected player will be the same as the color of their hits on the court.

Types

Filter by kills, live balls, tools, blocks, and errors.

Serve Receive

Only show hits from serve receive or only show hits in transition.

Rotations

Filter by a particular rotation.

Sets

Choose which sets to show hits from.

Location

Filter by which third of the court the ball was hit from: left, middle, right.

Tap the area of the court to toggle whether or not hits from that area are shown.
