Tune into the game on TV, grab a beer, and get comfortable. Be sure your flag set is within reach. As you watch the football game, certain events will happen that can (and should) trigger you to throw a flag.
Throw a flag on the play! Flags can be thrown, dropped, pitched, flung, and hurled. Throwing your flags is usually done in conjunction with a yell, cheer, or perhaps even an expletive (please keep it PG if young children are in the room).
YELLOW FLAG = PENALTY
Throw a yellow flag after a penalty happens during the game (especially be ready during all punts & kick-offs).
RED FLAG = CHALLENGE
The red rags are tossed after an officiating call is questionable (unfortunately, that's quite often).
GREEN FLAG = "FOR THE GAME"
Throw the green cloth before a crucial play that will affect the outcome of the game (for example, 4th and goal from the two-yard line).
It can only be used once per quarter.
TEAM FLAG = AFTER THE WIN!
Fling the blue laundry during kick-offs or punts and immediately after the game is over when the good guys win (be careful not to spill your favorite beverage).
Follow the action and throw your flags based on which team has possession and the current down.
When Your Team Is on Offense:
1st Down: Throw the GREEN flag.
3rd Down: Throw your TEAM flag.
4th Down or Field Goal Attempt: Throw the YELLOW flag.
When Your Team Is on Defense:
3rd Down: Throw the RED flag.
4th Down: Throw the YELLOW flag.
Second down is a free play. Reset and repeat as the game continues!
