1) Reception code - R

2) Reception effect

Perfect (#) – Ball is passed to a setter in the best way possible. It arrives at the right height, speed, and position. Setting is easy, and all attack options are open.
Good (+) – Pass that requires the setter to move a little. He has to make 2-3 steps to the ball. Some attack options might be a little challenging to set.
Positive reception (#+) - This number that we can see in the match report includes perfect and good passes divided by all passing attempts
Neutral (!) - The ball is received within the 3-meter line.
Poor (-) – There are two types of negative reception. The first one depends on the reception ending zone, which in this case is at least 3.5 meters off the net or very close to the antenna. The second one describes the situation when the ball is received very low, and sometimes the setter needs to fall onto his knees to set the ball. Usually, setting to middle blocker is impossible (unless you have a brilliant setter).
Overpass (/) – Ball is sent back to the other side of the net or cannot be attacked.
Error (=) – Direct mistake in reception. The team loses the point. When the ball hits the court directly we also need to put the reception code.
