Overview

Players in your team need to be assigned an individual PitcheroGPS tracker so you can identify which players are which when uploading and analysing data.

Before receiving your PitcheroGPS bundle, the individual trackers in your kit will have been added to your team in the Web App based on their 6-digit unique "Tracker IDs". Each Tracker ID will have been given a "Tracker number", from 1-20+ depending on how many trackers were purchased in your bundle. All the players provided in your team sheet will have also already been added to your team.

Assigning trackers

Step-by-step guide:

Load the PitcheroGPS Web App in your web browser and log in.
Click 'Manage Trackers'.
Click 'Assign Trackers' on the right-hand side of the page.
Using the drop-down, select the player's name you want to assign to each tracker number.
Repeat this for all players/trackers in the team.
Click 'Update' at the bottom of the page.

After assigning or changing any of the assignments on this page, you will need to sync these changes with your trackers. You can do this via the PitcheroGPS Transfer Tool. See more information on this in the Using the Transfer Tool article.

Reassigning trackers

When looking at a session in the web application, the coach can reassign a tracker to a different player. A coach might need to do this if the player had to use a different tracker than the one they are assigned.

Step-by-step guide:

Load the PitcheroGPS Web App and log in.
Locate the session on the Session Overview page.
Click 'Reassign Trackers' beneath the Player Data Table for the session.
Start typing the correct player's name into the textbox for the tracker you would like to reassign.
Select the player's name from the dropdown of existing players that appears.
Click 'Update' to save the change

Please note:

Reassigning a tracker on the Session Overview page only reassigns the tracker for the individual session. If the player is being reassigned to the tracker permanently, you need to reassign the tracker to the player on the Manage Trackers page as noted in the Assigning trackers section.

Troubleshooting

This section covers common troubleshooting queries:

Player not listed in the team

A player is wearing the wrong/unassigned tracker
- Coaches can reassign the player to the correct tracker following the steps in the Reassigning trackers section above.
Tracker ID/Number not known
- The Tracker ID and Tracker Number are displayed on the screen of each tracker when turned on or charging. Tracker IDs and numbers are uploaded to your team in the PitcheroGPS Web App prior to receiving your kit.
