Bring a tracked volleyball rally into Court, or use a Stats roster as the starting point for a play.

## Open a rally from Rufio Stats

A rally you tracked in the Rufio Stats app can open here as a 3D play. In the app, tap **Open in Rufio Court** (the cube icon) on a rally in **Point history** or **Film review**. On a phone it is in the rally header; on a tablet it is on each rally row. In Point history you can also tap a rally to open it and use the labeled **Open in Rufio Court** button there; a rally Court can't replay says why. Court shows the touches you recorded, nothing more. Court opens in the app and the rally is saved to your Playbook, in the **Imported** folder. Your active team roster comes with it: players who were not in the rally wait on the bench, with their numbers and positions. Duplicate the imported play in your Playbook, then apply a Quick Play to the copy to use that roster without entering it again.

- The button shows on a rally with at least one player stat and a known server. Score fixes, practices, and sand 3s and 4s don't get one.
- If a touch is missing (say nobody logged the set), Court adds one so the rally still plays. Where you tapped the court, the ball goes there.
- One rally opens at a time.
- Opening another rally brings a fresh roster snapshot. Plays you already saved keep their own roster.

**Player names**

The rally is stored in the link after the `#`, and browsers don't send that part to our server. Only first names and jersey numbers go with it, and Court clears the link from the address bar once the rally has loaded. Names show on the court only if you turn name labels on.

## Use your team’s players

A signed-in coach can open **Playbook > Stats rosters** to browse the teams that account is allowed to read. Opening a roster makes an unsaved play with its players ready for Quick Plays. It is a snapshot of the active roster, not a live connection to future changes.

A Quick Play maps roles such as setter and outside hitter onto that roster. Check the lineup and player labels before saving or sharing.

## What the replay can show

Court reconstructs the rally from the recorded touches and locations; it is not a copy of the match video. A missing contact or location can limit the replay. Use the original record or film when you need to check what actually happened.

You can import an exported rally file through **Playbook > Import file**. Keep private links and files within the intended team.
