About
This validator checks for common errors and inconsistencies in DataVolley and AOC VBStats files. Note, however, that these scouting software packages are quite flexible and can be used in different ways by different scouts. It is not possible to anticipate all such usages, and so this app might sometimes report "errors" that are in fact perfectly valid usage. With DataVolley files, this is particularly likely if you have changed the evaluation codes (#!=/-+) to have meanings that are different to their standard definitions.
You can:
- ignore these items, since they aren't applicable to your file, or
- if you believe that your usage pattern is a common one and the validator should support it, please suggest it and we will endeavour to incorporate it.
Thanks due
This app has benefitted greatly from advice and input from a number of coaches and scouts, including Mark Lebedew, Gerhard Bader, Cris Bocca, Olaf Garbe, Matthias Lerch, Hai-Binh Ly, Hugh Nguyen, Martin Plessl, and Willem de Wit.
Privacy and disclaimer
The results of your validation will be logged to help improve the app. Your input file will not be kept.
Similarly, the application's support for VolleyMetrics scouting conventions is not endorsed or supported by VolleyMetrics.
