Qualifiers
- Every per-set and percentage stat requires playing in at least 75% of the team's sets. Team sets come from final scoreboards.
- Hitting %: also 3.0 attack attempts per team set. Ace %: also 1.5 serve attempts per team set. Reception error %: also 4.0 reception attempts per team set.
- Season totals have no minimum.
- Teams need at least 12 box scores to appear (half the typical D1 team's count). This keeps out non-D1 opponents that show up in a single match. Sideout % and break % use play-by-play and need it for at least half of a team's matches.
- Blocks = solo blocks + 0.5 × block assists. Ace % = aces ÷ serve attempts. Hitting % = (K − E) ÷ TA.
