Online Volleyball Scoreboard
Volleyball uses rally scoring: a point goes to whichever team wins each rally, no matter who served. Indoor sets are played to 25 points and must be won by 2, and a deciding fifth set goes to 15. ScoreBoard's free online volleyball scoreboard counts points with one tap and flags the set winner for you.

How the Volleyball preset works
The Volleyball preset adds 1 point per tap, ends a set at 25 with a 2-point lead, and uses 30 as a safety cap so a long deuce battle still finishes. Use Next Round after each set to keep a running set tally.

Volleyball scoreboard FAQ
How does volleyball scoring work?
Volleyball uses rally scoring, so every rally ends with a point for the team that won it, whether or not they served. A team that wins a rally on the opponent's serve also gets the next serve. Indoor sets go to 25 and must be won by 2 points.
How many points are in a volleyball set?
Indoor volleyball sets are played to 25 points, win by 2. The fifth, deciding set is played to 15, also win by 2. Beach volleyball sets go to 21, with a third set to 15.
Is there a point cap in volleyball?
Official FIVB indoor rules have no cap: a set continues until one team leads by 2. Some recreational leagues cap sets at 27 or 30 to keep games on schedule. ScoreBoard's preset uses a 30-point cap.
Can I use this volleyball scoreboard on a tablet or TV?
Yes. ScoreBoard runs in any browser, so you can open it on an iPad, laptop or a TV browser, switch to fullscreen and set the score size to XL so players can read it from the court.
