In volleyball, stable game patterns have been detected in several studies (Afonso and Mesquita, 2011; Afonso et al., 2011; Eom and Schutz, 1992; Marcelino et al., 2008) with a relatively deterministic structure due to its non-invasion character (Mesquita, 2005). This feature might augment the probability of association of certain variables, thus allowing research to detect nuclear determinants of the game derived from variables related to the sport's internal dynamics.

Since team sports encompass dynamic processes of cooperation and opposition, characterized by the pursuit of the point and by the avoidance of the same goal being achieved by the opposite team (Lames and McGarry, 2007), the attack efficacy, namely in volleyball, emerges as the strongest predictor of the final result (Castro and Mesquita, 2008; Laios and Kountouris, 2004; Marcelino et al., 2008; Palao et al., 2005). At this ambit, it is of foremost importance to understand which game patterns afford the attaining of higher attack efficacies. Indeed, according to the literature, a great percentage of the attack efficacy relies on the quality of the setting action (Bergeles et al., 2009), which, in high-level volleyball, is performed by a specialist player, the setter. It is known that the quality of attack is mainly dependent on the zone where the setter performs the set (Afonso et al., 2010). For instance, quick and multiple attacks are more likely to be performed when the setter contacts the ball within the excellent zone (i.e., an area of 1-2 meters away from the net, and 2-3 meters from the right sideline) providing ideal conditions for the establishment of a good relationship between the attackers and the setter (Coleman, 2002).

In turn, the setter's action is constrained by a number of factors that should be taken into account in a thorough analysis (Mesquita and Graça, 2002). Studies have shown that preceding actions, namely the features of the opponent serve and the first contact in reception and defence, could predetermine the setter's actions and, consequently, the attacker's efficacy (Barzouka et al., 2006; Papadimitriou et al., 2004). For instance, the tennis jump serve is known to impair performance in reception, thus conditioning the subsequent actions (Katsikadelli, 1998b; Stromsik et al., 2002) and being prevalent in high-level volleyball (Lirola, 2006). However, these studies have used bivariate statistics, which appear to be limited, oversimplifying the complex nature of team sports. Through the interplay analysis of the factors that might interfere with the action of setting, it may be possible to better comprehend the nature of the game, thus contributing with valuable information both for the practice and research (Afonso et al., 2010).

In team sports, the analysis of interactions between game actions should be examined considering the game phase where they emerged, since its nature and configuration is determined for it. Particularly, in high-level men's volleyball, the complex I, or side-out, is considered a decisive phase of the game (Barzouka et al. , 2006; Palao et al., 2007). This game complex comprises the actions of serve-reception, set, and attack, always following a serve from the opponent (Selinger and Ackermann-Blount, 1986), and encompassing a specific logic of attack organization, distinct from that of other game complexes, such as complex II or transition. A hallmark of complex I is the strong relationship established between the opponent's serve and the quality of the reception influencing the space where the set is performed. Since the setting zone is highly determinant of the attack efficacy, and being limited by the nature and quality of the serve-reception and opponent serve it becomes relevant to analyze possible game actions related to these factors (Afonso et al., 2005; Mesquita et al., 2007; Palao et al., 2005).

Applied statistics afford insights into the interaction dynamics of the game, allowing discriminating differentiated effects of distinct variables and establishing the power of certain predictors of performance. By focusing on the variables with the most predictive power, and on the nature of their interactions, performers may better allocate their attention towards the most pertinent cues at each moment (Eckstein et al., 2006; Williams, 2009). As volleyball presents a more deterministic structure than most team sports (Mesquita, 2005), knowledge of these interactional models provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the action sequences, therefore affording coaches important information and guidance concerning the training process and team management during competition.

This is a pretty cool game where you have a team and will play with others. This is an indoor volleyball computer game created for computer. At last you play 6 against 6 players with universal groups from everywhere throughout the world.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games the third installment of the Mario & Sonic series, taking place in London, the host city for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Much like the other games in the series, the game is largely based around the 56 minigame-like Events, the most featured in a single installment in the series' history, with various modes allowing for the events to be played in different formats such as medleys and offering both single and multiple cartridge multiplayer for the mode. In addition to this, the game features a new Story Mode, centered around a plot based on Bowser and Dr. Eggman trying to stop the Olympic Games taking place using the Phantasmal Fog, in which the player completes various event challenges to progress. The game also has a number of collectibles in the form of badges, and also allows the player to view online leaderboards of records for certain events. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games marks the first installment of the series released on the Nintendo 3DS, and was released roughly three months after its home console counterpart on the Wii.

The Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games offers both local and download play multiplayer for up to four players. Download play gives the players the option to compete in both highlight match and event medleys, controlled by the host. During this mode, after completing an event, the usual option to quit is replaced with the option to disconnect the other players.

In this mode, the player can use tickets earned in-game for competing in events and playing various events to spin the badge machine and collect various badges in the game. The number of tickets that the player has earned is only shown when viewing the machine and are given no indication that they are earned when playing in other modes. A maximum of 999 tickets can be held at once. A badge can be earned by using the stylus to spin the handle onscreen, or by pressing the A Button. 160 different badges can be obtained from the machine, distributed across three different rarities- there are 100 common badges of various objects that come in blue capsules, 40 uncommon badges that come in yellow capsules of minor Mario and Sonic characters, plus six of the London 2012 Olympic mascot Wenlock, and then 20 rare badges of the athlete characters that come in pink capsules. Badges with higher rarities have a higher background, with the rare badges appearing with an exclusive square shape. Each badge can be collected multiple times, with the number obtained also recorded. The player can also press the Y Button as a shortcut to their badge collection.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games features a ranking system for each of the profiles in the game, based on the completion of the save file. Progress for various modes in the game, including medals earned, badges collected, and Story Mode episodes completed, which give the player a star ranking from 0 to 5. Each ranking can be accompanied by a number of different titles, which can change without the player going up a rank and can be affected by the events that the player plays most frequently. The following titles are available for each rank:

The Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games features a total of 57 events, the most of any instalment in the series. The events are split across 11 different classes, and make use of most of the features of the Nintendo 3DS as inputs for them. Each event has a specific character group that is used for it, and the player can only choose from characters in that group to play the event- for example, 100m is a Heroes event, and hence the player can only use Mario, Luigi, Sonic or Tails to play it. Each event has three difficulty settings which alter the performance of the COM characters in the events, as well as being given a game level rating which estimates the complexity of the event, going from one to three stars. Different events also require different numbers of characters, and as such may require the player to select multiple characters to compete in the event, or to pick one out to specifically control in the team. Some of the events also record records, which will have a starting record when the game is first played, but if the player manages to beat the record, their record will be stored as the top one for the event instead.

On March 1, 2012, a demo of the 3DS version of the game was released on the Nintendo eShop. Five events are playable in the demo: 25m Rapid Fire Pistol, Football, Trampoline, 100m Backstroke, and BMX. The player cannot choose their character or name, as it is always set to "M&S". The demo can be launched a maximum of 30 (20 in Europe) times once downloaded.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games received mainly mixed reviews from critics with some positive ones, scoring an average of 66 on Metacritic based on 28 reviews and 67.30% on GameRankings. Critics praised the gameplay of many of the game's events and the large amount of content, though criticized the limited multiplayer modes, control schemes for certain events and the similarity to previous installments in the series.
