GASA supports both major rotation systems:

• International (Z1-Z6): used globally, numbered by zone
• American (R1-R6): used in the USA, numbered by rotation

You can switch between systems anytime in Settings. The app supports:

• Indoor 6v6 volleyball (all levels)
• Best-of-3 and best-of-5 matches
• Rally scoring (25 points per set, 15 for the deciding set)

It's simple:

1. Setup: enter opponent name, starting rotation, who serves first
2. During the match: tap the score button for your team whenever you score a point
3. The app handles: rotation tracking, who's serving, set changes automatically
4. Between sets: review rotation performance and recommendations
5. End of match: click "End Match" to finalize and auto-backup data

These are GASA's core metrics for rotation analysis:

• PS% (Points Scored %): how often your team scores while serving from this rotation. Higher means a stronger serving rotation.
• SO% (Side Out %): how often your team scores while receiving serve in this rotation. Higher means a stronger receiving rotation.
• RV (Rotation Value): overall rotation strength, calculated as (Points Earned − Points Lost) ÷ Times Used. Positive means a winning rotation, negative means a losing rotation.

These metrics help you identify which rotations to start in and which need improvement.

You can undo multiple points in a row if needed.

Currently, once a match ends, the data is finalized. This ensures data integrity for statistical analysis.

Best practice: use "Undo Last Point" during the match to correct any errors before clicking "End Match".
