Pre-Season Checklist

Ensure your team is ready for Week 1 by following our Pre-Season Checklist

1. Update every iPad to the latest iPadOS

Update each iPad to the newest version of iPadOS it supports. Check the iPad Compatibility Chart to confirm your models can run the current version.

After updating, reopen GameStrat on each iPad and confirm its Location Services permission is still set to "Always." Updates can quietly reset this, which is what causes the "N/A Needs Permission" message.

2. Update the GameStrat app on all devices

Update the app everywhere so you're on the current release — the operating laptop from gamestrat.com/downloads, and each iPad from the App Store.

3. Charge everything and clear storage

Fully charge every iPad and the laptop, and delete old games you no longer need so downloads stay fast during the game.

4. Run a full system test

The best test is a live one. Set up your complete system exactly as you would on game day, then confirm it end to end:

  1. Start a live game on the laptop and confirm the camera feed(s) are active.
  2. Connect all iPads and confirm each shows the checkmark in the top-right corner.
  3. Record a 10–15 second test clip and play it back on every iPad.

Refer to your Hardware Manual (Pro | Premium | College) to confirm you have all your hardware and that it's functioning properly.

5. Brush up at support.gamestrat.com

Explore support.gamestrat.com for tutorials and articles to sharpen your GameStrat knowledge before the season starts.
