VolleyWrite is an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use improvement over paper scoring that gives your scorer total control at the scoring table. VolleyWrite supports standard 6 on a side volleyball games. Rule sets for NCAA, NFHS and USAV are provided, but they can be modified for your conference/league. VolleyWrite uses the rules to filter your input and alert you to anything illegal. It then gathers all the necessary information to fill out the score sheet in proper notation. VolleyWrite simplifies your input so you can keep up with the action on the court and enjoy the match at the same time. And with the Predictive Assistance feature turned on, you can enter substitutions and libero replacements with a single touch! VolleyWrite is a subscription-based app. Without a subscription, you can still look at matches that have been scored, but you are not able to score another match. Subscription extensions are available as in-app purchases in VolleyWrite. "VolleyWrite Season" has no in-app purchase capability. It is designed for schools which have managed Apple accounts. VolleyWrite supports all levels of play including instructional, club, high school and college. Score sheets, libero tracking sheets and reports can be printed or emailed.
