We are proud to announce the launch of our new company logo and brand identity.

Following the sale of our business in 2017 to Genius Sports, the global leader in sports data and technology, this brand evolution has been undertaken to align the two businesses more closely. Our new logo and brand symbolise our role as a crucial part of Genius Sports, which has more than 1100 employees and is a trusted partner to 500 sports organisations globally.

Since the acquisition, we have formed long-term data and technology partnerships with more than 15 new volleyball leagues and federations across Europe, Asia and Latin America.

While we are changing some aspects of our external brand, our long-standing and dedicated team will continue to provide volleyball leagues, federations and clubs around the world with market-leading software, support, training and expertise with the same proficiency, reliability and professional approach that have been identifying us in the last 30 years.

Good Afternoon DataProject customers,

We would like to take a moment to thank you for your patience during the Holiday in the EU last week, with offices re-opening today, we are working to answer all emails and inquiries. However, some planned maintenance has taken longer than expected and has continued to delay our email server, sometimes resulting in a bounce. Please continue to use [email protected] and [email protected].

While we sincerely hope you do not have any issues, on the off chance they arise, please connect with our Customer Service liaison Kyle Homeyer. He can be reach at [email protected] ([email protected] as a back-up) or by calling 314-662-0072 during business hours 9am-5pm (ET) Monday through Friday.
As James has been kicked upstairs, the need to shift calls away from him to Kyle has become necessary to ensure a reasonable resolution time for your case.

Thank you and we wish a successful season!

DataProject Staff!

You're making the move to DataVolley 4 from 2007 and want to know how to transfer all of those years of hard work you put into DV2007 into 4?

- Dont worry, we have you covered with this step-by-step instruction to move DataVolley 2007 and DataVideo 2007 components under one roof.

You can download DataVolley 4 by using the free trial or the full set-up from the personal area of your account on the DataProject website after purchasing (make sure you have USA selected in the regions tab at the top).

1). Please copy/paste the following files from the Data Volley 2007 folder (C:/Data Project/Data Volley 2007/) on the C drive to the Data Volley 4 (C:/Data Project/Data Volley 4/):

"Seasons" folder
"Data Cons" folder
"ttasti.db" located inside the "data" folder

copy and replace all conflicts into the DV4 folder. Make sure to place the "ttasti.db" inside the correct folder, "data".

This will move all of the functional data, scout files, tables and analyses from DV2007 to DV4.
________________________________________________
Regarding all those scout files and videos in Dvs_Video folder

You can batch import scouts from "Import from Dvs_Video" on the main screen of the DV4 display by clicking Import.

Choose "Check All" (bottom left checkbox)
-First picture listed below

or check specific matches:
-Second picture listed below

Either way you will still need to relink the scout with video because that data is now stored in header of the DVW and not in a filmlist.cfg file. That means clicking on a scout ant linking" or "assigning" a video to that scout then after saving that will connect the two.

________________________________________________
Volley on!

I am often asked about the traits/skills necessary to make a great scoutman. Based on my decade of teaching throughout the Americas and the development of a teaching methodology and curriculum, these are the optimal skills to develop great scoutmen:

1. Comprehensive knowledge of volleyball having coached and taught the game; being a former player is helpful, but not critical.

2. Have an analytical understanding of the game

3. Speak multiple languages, since Data Volley coding is a new language which must be acquired.

4. The ability to manage pressure, stress and most importantly panic when things go too fast or very wrong. Panic management is key!

5. Excellent keyboarding /computer skills.

6. A drive to learn and improve everyday, since you can always do more or make your processes more efficient.

There are many other individual traits which can make great scoutmen, but these are optimal. The process of becoming an expert scout is difficult and long, but if you have these traits and practice hard you will get there.

In my experience and of all my students, there is one, who has completely embraced my methodology and become the embodiment of what I teach and how it can be implemented and her name is: Carla Bernardes!
Parabéns Prendi!

Friends, just a quick reminder, Data Volley 4 DOES NOT require the key to remain inserted in the USB port to operate. The software requires the key to launch and does perform a license check every 24-36 hours, but especially when you are in a match (at a scoutman location or on the bench) or traveling (left in the USB port when placed in a bag.

These HIMAX devices are by far the most durable USB encryption dongles we have used as key. They are not "fragile," so to damage the housing and worse the internal circuitry takes repeated abuse or direct impact. Certainly, a direct ball impact is possible at the moment you are trying to launch Data Volley 4 before a match. Unfortunately, I see all to often both scoutmen and coaches alike place the devices in undue peril for the sake of facility of pure carelessness.

These devices are expensive and can be at times backordered from the producer; this means that if a device is broken you could be left without access to Data Volley 4 for an extended period of time. Accidents do happen and we try to get replacement keys out as quickly as possible; but know that damage, in most cases, if not all, is preventable.
