As for myself, I do what my district UIC wants done, which is in line with what the state UIC wants. My state UIC also happens to be one of the top umpires in my region, teaches at the regional umpire camp, and observes the umpires at our Regional. I find it highly unlikely he would say, "It's okay; don't throw the flag if you don't want to." I don't like carrying one because I don't like extra stuff in my pockets, but I do it. And sometimes, like last week, I actually use it.
They run the ump clinics in Bristal,CT. Which is the east regional office. I have been to the two day clinic not the five day. The two of them do a great job with the clinics there was approx. 100 people at the winter two day clinic.

The bull's eye on an (at least most) archery target is yellow.

Yeah, I probably should have researched that one better. How about the bullseye on a dart board then? Or the target logo for Target stores?

Or this archery target:

I have not nor will I EVER throw a red flag.

In fact the closest thing I have is a red shirt in a glass case that says, "Do Not Break Open In An Emergency".
:D:D


PS.: If the runner leaves early, it has to be blatant for me to send him back.
I threw one on Saturday. I average 1-3 per tournament season. Yes, we're not supposed to look for it. But when the violation is extremely obvious, the erring runner leaves me no choice.

If you call it the first time you see it in a game, you usually don't have to worry about it for the rest of the game.

Once you get to regionals you should look because:

TV Replay

where you can end up joining the club with the U2 that missed the gross base miss a few years back and the ULF that didn't see the hit or hear the clang when a batted ball hit off the foul pole.

That's who I guessed they were.
