COACH QUESTIONS

Answers without the runaround.

View every FAQ
Can I use TactiFlag before creating a team?+

Yes. My Playbook can hold personal, reusable plays. Create a team when you want a shared roster, team playbook, practices, staff, games, and offline team preparation.

Read the full guide
Should I choose 5v5 or 7v7 first?+

Yes. Choose the format your team actually plays before building formations. The format changes the player-count and field assumptions used by the editor.

Read the full guide
What is the difference between My Playbook and a team playbook?+

My Playbook is your reusable personal library. A team playbook represents the calls installed for one team and connects them to that roster, practices, install evidence, and Game Day.

Read the full guide
Can an assistant coach use Game Day?+

Yes, an authorized assistant can use team coaching workflows such as the playbook and Game Day. Team ownership controls staff administration and other owner-only responsibilities.

Read the full guide
Should I use the simple or advanced editor?+

Use the simple editor for fast formation and route work. Use advanced editing when the play needs detailed sequence, assignment, or ball-action control. Choose the simplest mode that communicates the play correctly.

Read the full guide
Why can’t I find a play?+

Confirm the active team and offense or defense selection, then clear search, collection, situation, install, and favorites filters. The play may also live in My Playbook instead of the current team.
