Volleyball

Best-of-five sets, each played to a points target rather than a clock. A match result is a set score, and the point score inside each set matters as much as the match result.

The model

What Volleyball needs that a generic model does not give it.

Every sport gets its own entities and its own scoring shape. We do not force one structure onto all of them.

The page types and computed values this sport implies. Descriptions are of the intended product for this sport.

  • Match pages showing both the set score and the points per set

Illustration
