1. Costagrande, 6.94 sets
2. Lydia Oulmou, Algeria, 6.56
3. Yang, 5.91
4. Hooker, 5.25
Also, I have added a team statistics page.
The top portion of the chart has the positive and negative point totals for each team.
Points scored per set minus errors
1. USA, 13.92
2. Italy, 12.81
3. Germany, 11.59
4. Japan, 11.19
5. China, 10.47
6. Brazil, 10.38
7. Serbia, 9.20
8. Dominican Republic, 7.34
9. Argentina, 5.04
10. South Korea, 3.12
11. Kenya, 2.41
12. Algeria, 0.96
The bottom chart is the estimated number of offensive possessions, offensive points (spikes+blocks+aces-spike error-serve error-set error), offensive points per 100 possessions (points divided by possessions x 100) and then the same for the defense.
The difference on the far right is the offensive points per 100 possessions minus the defensive points per 100 possessions. A good defensive team will have a lower number, while a good offensive team will have a higher number.
Best offensive team per 100 possessions
1. Italy, 26.17
2. USA, 25.23
3. China, 22.88
4. Japan, 22.08
5. Germany, 21.96
6. Brazil, 19.84
Best defensive team per 100 possessions
1. USA, 9.59
2. Italy, 13.85
3. Dominican Republic, 14.41
4. Germany, 14.50
5. Brazil, 15.28
6. Japan, 16.01
Best difference from offense to defense (set wins)
1. USA, 15.64 (21)
2. Italy, 12.34 (24)
3. Germany, 7.46 (21)
4. Japan, 6.07 (18)
5. China, 5.10 (22)
6. Brazil, 4.55 (16)
7. Dominican Republic, 0.39 (11)
8. Serbia, -1.83 (14)
9. Argentina, -7.10 (9)
10. South Korea, -14.15 (5)
11. Kenya, -14.48 (3)
12. Algeria, -18.55 (4)
China has actually out performed where they should be when compared to Germany and Japan. The Dominican Republic has been great on defense, but they make too many mistakes on offense.

So our friend Jeremy has created this special stats sheets for the first 3 matches of the ongoing 2011 FIVB World Cup. Again, it takes so much talent and patience to create something like this. Thank you Jeremy!

Player Contribution to Set Wins
This takes into account the number of set wins divided by the average net positive points through the first three matches for each team.
Also if a player did not play in all of the teams’ sets, this is also taken into account.
It is possible to have negative set wins (too many errors) and it is possible for a player to win more sets than their team has set wins (they do well as an individual player, but the rest of team fails).
The closest thing that I can compare it to would be win shares in other sports, but in this case, how many set wins did this player contribute to the teams’ wins.
1. Costagrande, Italy, 2.94 set wins, or almost 1 match win
2. Hooker, USA 2.68
3. Yang, China, 2.56
4. Foluke Akinradewo, USA, 2.08
5. Simona Gioli, Italy, 2.07
So if you look at Italy and the US, 2 players have contribute 5.01 set wins (out of 9 sets, 55.6%) and 4.76 set wins (out of 9 sets, 52.8%) respectively.
Teams must stop these two players on each team to have a chance at beating them.
146 players in total have played in 1 set or more
Only 31 players (21.2%) in all of the matches have contributed 1 set win or more to their teams.
