DPIP measures the number of digs on all points in play in all matches of the season. It removes points on serves (aces or errors) because those points were never in play, the point ended with just the serve.
We are working on more advanced metrics for the sport of volleyball to bring you a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the sport in the same way we cover other sports. It is taking time to dig up and parse out these metrics but rest assured, they are coming!
