The OTTO EVENT Express app is a one-stop shop to control your purchased tickets and entry process for OTTO EVENT. This application will store all of your purchases and allow you to make changes to your upcoming tickets. You will also be able to use the Express Entry if it is offered by the event. This process allows you to store your Photo ID along with a selfie locally on the app, and produce a QR code each time you enter the scanning location for an event. This new process bypasses the need for a Photo ID to be presented but can only be completed by using the OTTO EVENT Express app.

About

VolleyWrite Buddy

Features
Read full description

The VolleyWrite Buddy connects to the Windows version (for now) of VolleyWrite via bluetooth or WiFi. The Buddy displays the team names, which sides of the court each team occupies, and their sets won as well as the players on the court (including where the libero should be, where the libero served and which team is serving) and substitution, timeout and challenge counts.   VolleyWrite is volleyball scoring software that helps scorers do their job! You can keep up with the action on the court with simple clicks, so you're not holding up the match. Scoring notation is generated for all the actions you enter. Rules are built in to ensure you enter only legal actions. VolleyWrite reminds you of sub counts and set point so you can share that with the officials. Of course, libero tracking is also included along with libero tracking rules and scoring notation.
