The statistic reflects a player’s efficiency in attacking the ball. It is derived by subtracting the total number of errors (attack errors and blocked attacks) from the total number of kills, then dividing that result by the total number of attack attempts. For instance, if a player records 15 kills, 5 errors, and 30 total attempts, the computation would be (15 – 5) / 30, resulting in a value of 0.333, or 33.3%. This numerical representation offers a standardized measure of offensive effectiveness.
This metric serves as a crucial indicator of offensive output, informing coaching decisions and providing valuable insights into player performance. A higher value indicates a more efficient attacker, demonstrating an ability to terminate rallies while minimizing errors. Historically, this calculation has evolved alongside the sport, becoming a standard benchmark for evaluating individual and team offensive capabilities.
