Questions and answers about Scorerdesk
Using Scorerdesk is free with no account: it plays a volleyball match to you one event at a time and checks your scoresheet and libero tracker against the rules. For how to keep each box, see the scorekeeping guides.
Frequently asked questions
What is Scorerdesk?
A practice scorer's table for volleyball. A narrated match plays event by event ("Serve, home, number 9", "Sub request away: 12 in for 5", "Libero replacement home: 4 out, 1 in"), you fill in your own scoresheet and libero tracking sheet, and Scorerdesk checks every box against the rules after every event, then marks each mistake with the rule it broke, in plain words.
Who is it for?
Club players and parents who have to work the scorer's table at a tournament, high school students who keep the book or the libero tracker, junior scorers getting ready for certification, and coaches who want to run a scorekeeping session for the whole team from a projector.
Is it free?
Yes, the daily set, one scenario at each libero level, the blank printable sheets, every guide and the FAQ are free with no account. Any paid plan adds every scenario, unlimited generated matches, the choice of rule profile, live pace, error injection, projection mode, the certificate and the history.
Which rules does it use?
Two profiles. The NFHS profile follows the 2026-27 NFHS volleyball rules used by most US high schools, including the new option to designate two liberos per set. The USA Volleyball profile follows the 2025-2027 USA Volleyball indoor rules used in club play. The numbers that differ, such as 18 or 15 substitutions per set and 60 or 30 second time-outs, live in a data file per profile.
Is this an official scoresheet?
No. Scorerdesk draws its own scoresheet and libero tracking sheet with the usual fields in the usual order, so what you practise transfers to the sheet at your table. It is not a copy of any official form, and it is never the record of a real match.
Does a certificate from Scorerdesk certify me as a scorer?
No. The certificate of practice records the date and the sets you scored clean. It is not a substitute for your certification course: your region or state association runs the training and the test that count.
What happens when I make a mistake?
The grader compares your sheet to the correct sheet after every event and again at the end of the set. Each wrong or missing box is marked on your sheet with the rule it broke, for example a substitution written under the wrong position, a service box left empty at a side out, or an illegal re-entry you let through. You also get accuracy by skill: serve order, substitutions, libero, time-outs, sanctions and score.
What if I cannot hear the voice?
Every event is also shown as a caption. Browsers with no speech voices show the captions only, and you can turn the voice off and score from the captions in any browser.
Where is my progress stored?
In this browser's local storage only. Nothing is uploaded. Scorerdesk never asks for a player's name. Rosters are uniform numbers only, and anything you type stays in this browser and is never uploaded. The progress page exports everything as a JSON file, which you can import on another browser.
Is Scorerdesk affiliated with USA Volleyball or the NFHS?
Scorerdesk is not affiliated with USA Volleyball, the NFHS, any region, state association, league or club. The rule bodies are named only to say whose rule a profile follows. Rules are explained in our own words with the rule number and edition, never copied.
Was Scorerdesk called something else?
Scorerdesk was called ScoreTable until October 2026. Same tool, same maker, your saved work and Premium are unchanged.
