Play-by-Play Report  
       The Play-by-Play report below is from the 1995 Olympic Festival of the Men's Gold Medal Match.  Only the first and fourth which was the final game are presented here to conserve space and load faster.  At the end of the report are some abreviated stats that also show on the computer screen as the match progresses.  This is useful for broadcasters or P.A. announcers who want this kind of data immediately.  Each line of a rally starting with the server and the termination of the play uses only four key strokes which makes it easy for one person to do alone.  The server is the first key stroke, followed by the one making the terminal play of the rally, and two key strokes to enter the code for what happened.  These codes are easily learned as they are letters representing the play.  For example, the quick keys for the first few plays are QN (Quick hits the ball into the Net), KC (Kill on a Cross court shot), KB (Gets a Kill off the Block), BQ (Gets a kill off a Back Quick hit), KC (Kill on a Cross court shot), HN (Hits ball into the Net), QH (Gets kill on Quick Hit), KB (Gets a Kill off the Block), SN (Serve goes into the Net), and so on.
