If you've ever looked at a serious volleyball league table — FIVB, club, or grassroots — you've probably noticed the standings don't follow simple win/loss counting. A team that wins 3-0 picks up more standings points than one that wins 3-2, and the team that pushed the match to the deciding set still earns a point even though they lost.

This is the 3-2-1-0 system, and it's the standard used by the FIVB and most national volleyball federations worldwide. Score7 supports it natively as a one-click "By Margin" scoring option in your stage settings.

Not every sport is decided by a single score. Volleyball matches are played in sets of 25 points. Tennis matches are played in sets of 6 games. Badminton goes to 21 points per set. If your tournament software only supports a single score per match, you end up recording "3-1" for a volleyball match and losing all the set detail — or worse, trying to hack around it with notes and comments.

Score7 has native set-based scoring. Enter each set individually, and the system determines the winner based on sets won.
