4 Introduction This year, as well as for the previous 10 years since 2006, and in line with the permanent monitoring of Volleyball development trends and evolution, the scientific research of the main Game indicators for the top level men s and women s teams (Joint project of the Rules of the Game and Refereeing Commissions Picture of the Game ) is foreseen as one of the most important tasks. It is also of significant relevance to our abilities to create a product which can be marketed world-wide. The results of this scientific statistical research are regularly reported to the FIVB President and always generate a positive response to its value. This was again confirmed during the last Joint meeting of RGC&IRC in January, The FIVB President strongly supported the idea that any changes in Volleyball must be based on sustainable scientific research. Here in aims 1 and 2 the statistical results are strong as the sample size was sufficient to guarantee validity of the findings. The comparators for London and Rio (aim 3) are less strong due to a reduced sample size nevertheless the results for this comparison are reinforced by the different indicators telling the same story. Taking into consideration the latest FIVB innovations: modern technology (new Hawk-eye challenge, tablets, headsets, etc.), measures for shortening intervals between rallies and the adaptation of match duration to the demands of TV, the results of the research reflect not only the dynamic of volleyball trends, but also their degree of influence on volleyball development. In terms of structure, the report is divided into six parts or chapters. The reason for this is that in reality we have more than one sport of volleyball; while sharing the same rules, the men s and women s games show distinct characteristics of their own. In chapters one and two, the various aspects of the game are treated separately, while in chapter three the men s and women s games are compared and contrasted in the key areas which define our sport. In part 4, the focus becomes the comparison between the Olympic Games of London and the games of Rio de Janeiro. Here we hope to determine if in the key areas, the game has progressed or if there are aspects we should look at before we have to look at them. In part 5, we have identified a new parameter to highlight net crossings. While we can see from our existing studies the length in time for the average rally, and may conclude that if it is shorter than before, then there is something wrong with the dynamic of the game. This would see at odds with a further statistic which reveals more ball contacts in the same time frame. If we then say that the play is faster and more dynamic, what evidence do we have to back up this premise? Hence by augmenting our existing studies with new data looking at net crossings we can see exactly what the increased athleticism and speed of the game is doing to the one aspect which we all relate to: exciting rallies where the ball crosses the net several times. The new indicator compares matches from the Olympic Finals from 2008, 2012, and 2016, in order to determine the trend in this excitement indicator over the period. Part 6 deals specifically with match duration. Finally, there is a summary of findings and recommendations, based on the previous analysis.

6 Part 1. Men s volleyball of top level. Main indicators On the basis of 2016 FIVB World League final tournament (Krakov, Poland, ) the following statistical data reflecting the main volleyball indicators and has been obtained: 1. Rally duration Average rally duration 5,51 sec. Average rally duration without pseudo-rallies 6,9 sec. Dynamic of a rally duration indicator Average rally duration Average rally duration without pseudo-rallies 6

This has been very stable during the last 10 years, and especially over the last 3 years, despite of all our efforts to increase it. The variability between different matches is small and therefore not significant. In order to change it towards greater rally prolongation, it may be necessary to make changes involving further ball handling liberalization (perhaps some liberalization of the second team hit, for example, or a more strict view of the 1 st hit reception may be required). If the pseudo-rallies factor (i.e. rallies involving only service) can be completely eliminated, it is believed that average rally duration will extend by more than one second. See recommendations at the end of the report. 2. Flying ball Flying ball 15,43% from total duration of all sets, OR 13,05% from total match time 15% Rallies time All sets duration 85% 8

From match to match the indicator varies not more than 3 %, but is clearly variable, ranging from to in the matches studied, and clearly depends on a variety of factors, not least the teams playing and their individual tactics. There is a small trend within the last 10 years showing a reduction in the flying ball time. The new (old) net touch rule and Challenge system possibly also contributed to this trend. This is perhaps the lowest level of active playing time among comparable team sports using a ball. In order to correct this situation it is necessary to consider changes in Game structure or the fixed game interruptions (like changing format, or reducing all interruptions TA, TTO, time between sets, etc.) 3. Portion of pseudo-rallies (ace or service fault, about 1 sec.) 23% Pseudorallies 22,97% 77% Rallies 10

The main reason for having a high percentage of pseudo-rallies has been the increase in the very risky jump service, due to the fact that the less risky service (less power) will most likely lead to the successful attack by the receiving team, who will then win the rally at the first attempt. One of the possible ways to decrease the need for and percentage of risky power jump services is to consider how to ensure that there is not always a very good reception after the floating service (in order to generate a less powerful attack). In other words, we really need the serving team to win the rally this means reducing the risk of a service failure; this is where the reception should be weakened. The overhand reception creates the wrong conditions from our point of view. While we are unlikely to see this modified in the foreseeable future, some new ball structure which allows service swerve over a long distance (12 metres) but which flies true over a short distance (6-8 metres) should be considered to benefit the rally. 4. One attack rally out of all rallies (without pseudo-rallies) 2016 value: 52,97% Two and more attack rally 53% 47% One attack rally 12
13 Dynamic of one attack rally indicator % 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% Portion of one attack rallies Linear (Portion of one attack rallies) 20% 10% 0% One attack rally 75% 73% 63% 68% 66% 68% One attack rally 55% 52% 52,3% 52,22% 52,97% 13

There was an obvious trend of reducing the portion of one-attack rallies. The variability of this indicator in different matches is +/- 5%. (i.e. it depends very much on which teams are playing, their abilities and tactics). 24% 5. One and less attack rallies out of all rallies (with pseudo-rallies). Two and more attack rally One and less attack rally 76% 14
15 Dynamic of one and less attack rallies indicator 85% 80% 75% Portion of one and less attack rallies 70% 65% 60% One and less attack rally One and less attack rally 79% 81% 68% 76% 73% 76% % 74,5% 73,8% 74,81% 75,94% 15
16 Variability of one attack rally indicator 80% 78% 76% 74% 72% 70% 68% Portion of one and less attack rallies Portion of one and less attack rallies Portion of one and less attack rallies BRA-ITA POL-FRA POL-SRB USA-ITA BRA-USA 77,27% 73,46% 77,09% 76,38% 73,99% SRB-FRA SRB-ITA FRA-BRA SRB-BRA FRA-ITA 77,61% 72,03% 77,29% 79,13% 77,7% Comment: This has been a relatively stable indicator over the last 8 years (73%-76%). The variability of this indicator in different matches is between 72% and 79% that means +/- 3,5 %. Practically it means that out from 4 rallies, only one rally consists of more than one attack (long rally). This last comment is key to our understanding of the game dynamic and of our willingness to search for ways to make the game more attractive to a public which demands long rallies and spectacular defensive play. 16
17 6. Average number of ball contacts during one rally (without pseudorallies) 2016 Value: 6,5 Dynamic of ball contacts indicator Ball contacts during a rally Average number of ball contacts during one rally Average number of ball contacts during one rally ,5 4,6 4,7 5,4 4,7 4, ,7 6,7 6,4 6,6 6,5 17

There is a clear trend of increasing the number of ball contacts in each rally during the last decade. This trend means that the game has become faster and the players nowadays are able to make more technical actions within one rally. The variability of this indicator in different matches is not significant (between 6,12 and 7,35). 18

The variability of this indicator in different matches is small. It is interesting that generally the percentage of pseudo-rallies is very close to the percentage of long rallies (more than one attack). 21
22 8. Attack-defence balance* 2016 Value: 2 * number of rallies won on the opponent service divided on number of rallies won on own service Remark: attack-defence balance without pseudo-rallies is 1,8 Dynamic of attack-defence balance indicator Attackdefence balance Attack-defence balance Attack-defence balance ,3 2,02 2,2 2,45 2, ,09 1,85 2,

In 2016, as in 2015, this indicator shows no change - i.e. it maintains the value of 2 quoted above. The variability of this indicator in different matches is significantly large +/- 0,28. The current state of this indicator means that in men s volleyball there is still a significant imbalance between attack and defense, and if a team receives a service, most likely (in two out of three cases) this team will win this rally. Current very soft and liberal service reception criteria are likely to be the main factor in creating this imbalance (see above). Another factor likely to contribute to this imbalance is keeping the same net height (2,43 m.) during almost 70 years while at the top level the players average height and physical conditions have increased significantly (although a high spike is usually met with a high block, making the net irrelevant in most cases, and the cost world wide of changing this would mitigate against the average federation s ability to promote the game). 23

The variability of this indicator in different matches is +/- 3%. This indicator explains why the captains usually choose a reception during a toss before match. (Again, see above different indicators pointing to the same conclusion). 10. Portion of aces after jump service 2016 value: 7,56% 26

Over the last 4 years this indicator has stayed relatively stable, at around 5-7 %. The variability of this indicator in different matches is large, however (3,5% - 11,1%). 28

This indicator varies up and down only to an insignificant level(+/- 0,3 %). The variability of this indicator is different in observed matches over the range +/- 1,6 %. 3.

The variability of this indicator in different observed matches is +/- 3,09 % (This is a large variation but clearly depends on the identity of the teams playing). 4.

There was an obvious trend of increasing the portion of one-attack rallies contrary to the men s volleyball. The variability of this indicator in different observed matches is +/- 10 % (significant). This may be because the women are also increasing in height significantly and the reception issues mentioned above for the men appears to be happening also in the women s game: reception is too easy, making the first attack decisive and thus reducing the chance of a longer rally. 36

This is a good indicator of the health of the game. 42

The variability of this indicator in different matches is, however, considerable (varying from 0,0 % to a massive 12,5 %) and may reflect differing training regimes for the teams involved, and different physical condition for the individual players. 46

It has already been alluded to that between the two Games, the net rule changed and the Challenge system was introduced. This needs to be born in mind when evaluating not just the game itself but those two factors as separate items. 59

When a ball after service hit crossed the net plane and directly went out, then only one crossing was counted. Comment: The net crossings show at first an increase until 2012 followed by a significant decrease in number as we progress from 2008 until When taken in conjunction with the indicator which shows the INCREASED number of ball contacts or hits per rally over the same period, we have an apparent conflict or contradiction. Ideally we should see the number of net crossings also increase towards The indicator tells us, however, that there are many rallies which stop after the first attack. This confirms the evidence shown earlier regarding one and more attack rallies. That we do not have a match between the number of hits and the number of net crossings may again be the result of rule changes or one in particular, relating to net contacts. The liberalisation up to 2012 resulted in more long rallies by the 2012 Olympics, but this trend was reversed by Rio While the play was undoubtedly faster, the feature which was missing (and which the spectators tell us they want) was the long rally element. Recommendation: to continue to search for ways to increase the number of net crossings per rally as a key part of popularising the sport. 61

65 Women 2016 Women % 3 sets match 4 sets match 13% 3 sets match 4 sets match 0% 73% 5 sets match Conclusion 17% 70% 5 sets match Comment: It seems obvious more than ever that we have two almost different games the men s version and the women s version. Even between last season and this we see that matches are either won 3-0 or 3-2. This may be a result of the competition formulae which permits more teams to take part. And the consequent mismatch of teams until the end of the Preliminary rounds. Both versions would benefit from some modification which makes service reception harder the multiplier effect which this creates would increase rally length and reduce the one attack rallies: attack-defence balance would also change for the benefit of rallies. 65
66 Conclusions: 1. In relation to the above, data was obtained which covered the key areas of rally length, match duration, flying ball time and so on, which allowed a direct comparison with other editions. 2. Some aspects of the game remain relatively stable, while others vary significantly. The following can clearly be seen as significant Number of ball contacts per rally is increasing due to increased athleticism and game speed; Yet % flying ball time is reducing; In men s volleyball there is still a significant imbalance between attack and defense -the one attack rallies predominate still several different indicators show that the receiving team generally wins the rally, and this is something we need to change; In women s volleyball the rallies are significantly longer, and the imbalance between attack and defense is much less. But we must take care not to let the women s game follow the direction of the men. 3. Comparing the Rio and London Games, there was a noticeable shortening of rallies in Rio largely due to the imposition of a much stricter net rule, and % flying ball time is further reduced due to the additional factor of the implemented Challenge regulations. More than ever in our fight for market share of the TV audience, we still need a real flying ball game; 66
