[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1458064, member: 434"] This different, but related issue takes me back to 2009 in the alternate scenario where I "lost" my flag and purposely didn't try and find it in the least. I thought I saw an advantage to using the alternate method where I included my face in the picture and didn't have to much around with the tedious details of pulling out my flag, hanging it in windy conditions, making sure the numbers were visible, remembering to take down the flag, and repacking it. I was a MACHINE the last two legs on snagging bonuses quickly and pretty smug with myself at the scoring table. ....until I was reminded it was it was a 5000 point penalty to not produce my flag and looked really confused. "Huh?", I think was my decisive response. Well, I stuck with my lost flag, ate the 5000 points, and placed 13th...instead of 9th. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I'll know next time. Other than an eye-roll from Lisa and totally deserved, 'That was dumb.' comment--my faux pas didn't result in any rule changes or big consternation by rally staff. It was all me being dumb. And the flag? As I got up from the scoring table all done, I suddenly found my flag in my pocket! What are the odds? ;) [/QUOTE]
