Abstract: A volleyball statistic keeping user interface provides rapid identification of players and volleyball actions without needing to display pre-set buttons for every player currently on the court. In some embodiments, a virtual court representing a volleyball court is generated. A state machine determines the most likely volleyball action to occur at any point in the virtual court during gameplay. Thus, when a user selects a location in the virtual court, the state machine automatically triggers a highest probable action for the location which may be confirmed by the user and the statistic is automatically logged into the record. The entire process may occur in split seconds allowing the user intuitive touch and record keeping alongside the pace of real-time volleyball play.
