Whether we're building internal utilities or public-facing products like CheerIQ, our goal is always the same: create tools that feel powerful, polished, and unmistakably alive.
Core Principles
•
Clarity over clutter — Information should be readable, structured, and instantly understood.
•
Speed over complexity — Performance is a feature; simplicity is a strength.
•
Craftsmanship over convenience — Details matter, and quality is non-negotiable.
•
Identity over generic design — Every product should have a soul, a voice, and a visual signature.
From concept to execution, Black Flag Guild builds digital experiences that stand apart — tools that feel bold, confident, and unmistakably handcrafted.

CHEERIQ — COACH EDITION TROUBLESHOOTING
Quick fixes for the most common issues coaches run into. Your data is saved to your account in the cloud and syncs across devices when you're signed in.
MY DATA ISN'T SHOWING / LOOKS OUT OF DATE
• Make sure you're signed in to the same account — your data is tied to your login
• Refresh the page so the app re-syncs the latest data from the cloud
• If you switched devices, give it a moment to load after signing in
• For an extra safety net, use Gym Settings → Export Data to keep a local backup file
• You can restore a backup anytime with Gym Settings → Import Data
ATHLETES NOT SHOWING IN CHECK-IN OR ATTENDANCE
• Athletes must be added on the Roster page first
• After adding athletes, navigate away and back to Check-In to refresh the list
• If athletes still don't appear, check that names were saved (look for them in the Roster list)
• Attendance only shows competitions that have check-in data recorded — run check-in first
COMPETITIONS NOT APPEARING IN DROPDOWNS
• Competitions must be added on the Competitions page before they appear in Score Tracker, Check-In, Hotel & Travel, or Day Schedule
• If a competition is missing from a dropdown, navigate to Competitions and confirm it was saved
• Changing a competition's name will update it everywhere automatically
SEASON PLANNER SHOWS BLANK / WRONG MONTH
• Use the ‹ Prev and Next › arrows to navigate to the correct month
• Competitions only appear on the calendar if they have a date set — edit the competition and add a date
• The season strip at the top shows all months that have competitions — tap one to jump to it
ANNOUNCEMENTS NOT REACHING PARENTS
• CheerIQ Coach Edition is a local app — it does not send push notifications to parents automatically
• Parents must open their own CheerIQ Parent Edition app to see announcements
• The Broadcast page lets you compose messages, but distribution happens through your gym's normal communication channels (email, group chat, etc.)
• For urgent updates, use your existing parent communication method alongside CheerIQ
ANALYTICS CHART IS BLANK
• The score trend chart requires at least 2 scored competitions to draw
• Scores must be entered via the Score Tracker page — competitions without scores won't appear
• If the chart still appears blank after entering scores, try navigating away and back to Analytics
• Use the ↺ Refresh button at the top of the Analytics page to force a redraw
PAYMENTS NOT SHOWING ATHLETE NAMES
• Fee athlete assignment only works if athletes are already on the Roster
• When adding a fee, select the athlete from the Assign To dropdown
• Fees assigned to "All Athletes" will not show an individual name
• To update an existing fee's athlete, delete it and re-add with the correct assignment
GYM SETTINGS NOT SAVING
• Always tap the 💾 Save button in the top-right of Gym Settings — fields are not auto-saved
• Notification toggles are auto-saved when toggled
• If the gym name doesn't appear in the sidebar after saving, reload the page
• If a save doesn't seem to stick, check your internet connection — saves sync to the cloud — then reload and try again
LOGO NOT APPEARING IN SIDEBAR
• Upload your logo in Gym Settings → Branding
• Supported formats: PNG, JPG, WebP — keep it under 1MB for best performance
• After uploading, tap 💾 Save to apply it
• If the logo appears distorted, use a square image (1:1 ratio) for best results
APP IS SLOW OR UNRESPONSIVE
• Large rosters (50+ athletes) or many competitions can slow rendering — this is normal
• If the app freezes, refresh the browser tab — your data reloads from your account automatically
• A stronger internet connection helps the app sync and load faster
• For best performance, use Chrome or Edge on a laptop or desktop
