Overview
Connecting your technology to Stacks ensures that athlete data captured during a BASE session flows into the right profiles automatically. This article covers how to add devices, create device groups, assign them to your roster groups, and verify everything is working before a session begins.
Compatible Devices
Stacks is currently compatible with the following devices only. If you are using a device not on this list — such as Rapsodo — it cannot be connected to Stacks at this time.
Device | Type |

Trackman Pitching | Organization ID |
Diamond Kinetics | Account ID |
Loden | Org ID |
Breakaway | BA ID |
Device Groups
What is a Device Group? A Device Group is a collection of connected devices assigned to a specific team, roster, or session. Groups ensure that when data is captured across multiple devices during a BASE session, it all routes to the correct athlete profiles automatically — no manual sorting required.
How to Create a Device Group
Navigate to Org. Settings → Device Groups
Select Create Group
Enter a name that reflects the session or roster it will serve
Example: EL1 Spring Tryouts or MTC Premium Group 1
Select the devices to include in the group
Click Create Device Group
How to Assign a Device Group to a Roster Group
Once your Device Group is created, you need to assign it to a roster group so athlete profiles are linked to the correct devices.
Click Groups in the side panel
Click Create Group
Enter the Group Name
Select the Default Device Group you just created
Click Continue
Select the players you want to include in this group
You can assign a specific Device Group to each individual player, or they will inherit the group's default Device Group automatically
Click Continue
Choose the members who will be part of this group — these are users with Admin or Instructor roles
Click Create Group
How to Change a Device Group for an Existing Group
If you need to update which Device Group is assigned to an existing roster group:
Click Groups in the side panel
Click the desired group
Click the pencil icon next to the group name
Edit the group name and/or change the Default Device Group
Select the desired Device Group
Click Save Changes
Before Every Data Capture Session — Pre-Session Checklist
Before athletes arrive, log into each individual device and verify the following:
Your Stacks groups are appearing correctly on the device
The correct athlete profiles are loaded and visible
All devices are fully charged
All devices are connected and syncing properly
⚠️ Do not begin a data capture session until all devices have been checked. Missing athlete profiles or incorrect group assignments discovered mid-session can result in lost or misrouted data that cannot be recovered.
