Express vs Gameflow Logging of Stats

Two Ways to Log a Match in Loggerhead

Game Flow vs. Express Logging

Loggerhead gives you two distinct ways to log volleyball matches.

Both capture the same underlying stats.

They differ in how you get there.

One is structured and sequential.

The other is fast, flexible, and powerful.

Choosing the right one matters.

Game Flow Logging

Available to everyone

Game Flow is the foundation of Loggerhead.

It mirrors how a rally actually unfolds.

Serve. Receive. Set. Attack. Result.

Each action follows the previous one in a clear, ordinal sequence.

How it works

  • You tap actions in the order they happen

  • Loggerhead enforces volleyball logic

  • The app guides you through legal next steps

  • Stats are inferred from context, not guesswork

If the ball is served, you must resolve the serve.

If a set is logged, the next meaningful action must follow.

If a rally ends, the system resets automatically.

Why this matters

  • Ideal for parents new to stat tracking

  • Great for learning volleyball flow

  • Reduces errors caused by missed context

  • Produces clean, consistent data

Game Flow logging is opinionated by design.

It keeps you on rails.

That’s a feature.

Express Logging

Subscriber-only

Express Logging is built for speed and control.

It removes the rails.

Instead of following a strict rally sequence, you log what you see, when you see it.

Out of order.

After the fact.

Non-linearly.

How it works

  • You tap the stat you want directly

  • No enforced action order

  • No requirement to “complete” a rally

  • Minimal prompts, maximum velocity

Missed a dig?

Log it now.

Need to add a block assist from two touches ago?

Do it.

Tracking multiple actions at once?

No problem.

Why this matters

  • Ideal for experienced stat keepers

  • Works well with video review or replays

  • Enables collaborative and parallel logging

  • Keeps up with high-tempo matches

Express Logging assumes you know what you’re doing.

It trusts you.

Why Loggerhead Supports Both

Volleyball doesn’t look the same from every seat.

A parent courtside needs guidance.

A coach reviewing film needs freedom.

A collaborative crew needs speed.

Loggerhead doesn’t force one workflow.

You start with Game Flow.

You graduate to Express.

Or you mix them match-to-match.

Your data.

Your style.

Which Should You Use?

Use Game Flow if:

  • You’re new to stat tracking

  • You want the app to guide decisions

  • You value structure over speed

Use Express Logging if:

  • You already know the rules

  • You care about velocity and flexibility

  • You want full control over what gets logged

Both are Loggerhead.

One teaches the game.

The other keeps up with it.
