Lineup Management

Keeping your lines organized during a game can be chaotic — especially when you’re juggling substitutions, matchups, and fatigue across a long tournament day. UltiStackr’s lineup management tools help you plan your rotations ahead of time, make quick adjustments on the sideline, and track who’s been on the field.

Player-Play Assignment Matrix

The player-play assignment matrix is the heart of UltiStackr’s game day lineup tools. It serves two purposes:

Point-by-Point Tracking

During games, the matrix gives you a grid view of every player mapped against every point:

• Rows represent your rostered players.
• Columns represent individual points in the game.
• Each cell indicates whether a player was on the field for that point.

This gives you an at-a-glance view of playing time distribution. You can instantly see who’s been getting heavy minutes and who needs more reps.

Play Assignments

Beyond tracking who’s on the field, you can assign specific players to specific plays from your playbook. Each assignment includes a position role (Handler, Cutter, Wing, Deep, or a custom role) so every player knows exactly where they fit in the formation.

This is especially useful for teams running set plays — you can map out who runs each play before game day and reference the assignments from the sideline.

Assigning Players to Lines

Before or during a game, you can assign players to specific lines for upcoming points.

Pre-Game Line Setting

Before the first pull, set up your starting lines:

1. Navigate to Lineup from the game log screen.
2. Select the players for your O-line (the line that will receive the pull).
3. Select the players for your D-line (the line that will pull).
4. Optionally, pre-set additional lines for later points.

Position Assignments

When assigning players to a line, you can optionally tag each player with a role for that point:

• Handler — Touches the disc in the backfield, initiates the offense
• Cutter — Runs downfield patterns to get open
• Wing — Plays the sideline in certain offensive or defensive sets
• Deep — Covers or attacks the deep space

Managing Subs During Games

When a point ends and the next one begins, UltiStackr helps you manage substitutions efficiently.

Quick Sub

After logging a point, UltiStackr shows you the current line and lets you make quick swaps:

1. Tap a player on the current line to sub them out.
2. Select a player from the bench to sub them in.
3. Confirm the new line and move to the next point.

Line Templates

If you have set O-lines and D-lines that you rotate through, you can save them as line templates. During the game, instead of picking players one by one, just select a saved template to load the entire line at once.

Fatigue Awareness

UltiStackr tracks how many consecutive points each player has been on the field. If a player has been out there for several points in a row, you’ll see a visual indicator suggesting they might need a rest.

Lineup Statistics and Performance Tracking

After the game (or during it), you can review lineup statistics to understand how your rotations performed.

Per-Player Stats

For each player, the lineup data shows:

• Total points played — How many points they were on the field.
• O-points vs. D-points — The split between offensive and defensive points.
• Points scored — How many points ended in a score while they were on the field.
• Conversion rate — The percentage of their points that resulted in a score for your team.

Line-Level Stats

You can also look at how specific line combinations performed:

• Which O-line combinations had the highest hold rate?
• Which D-line groups generated the most breaks?
• Were certain matchups or groupings more effective than others?

Using Lineup Data to Optimize Rotations

The real power of lineup management comes from using the data across multiple games to refine your approach.

Identify Your Best Lines

Look at hold rates and break rates across your season’s games. You may find that certain player combinations consistently outperform others — and that some groupings that feel right on paper don’t produce results on the field.

Balance Playing Time

Use the matrix view across multiple games to ensure you’re distributing playing time fairly (or strategically). If certain players are consistently under-used or over-worked, the data will show it clearly.

Spot Fatigue Patterns

If your team tends to give up breaks late in games, check whether your starters are playing too many consecutive points. The lineup data can reveal whether fatigue is a factor in second-half collapses.
