On a more serious note, I agree with this idea. Look at the number of 'bots that were eliminated from scoring in the match when a ringer ended up on thier flag stick, we were scared to death of that happening to us! In my opinion, that condition should not count as "has posession of the tube" because you will need to hide the flag somewhere to minimize the chance of being rung, hence making the flag less visible which is contraditory to the intent of the flag... Bumpers makes sense.
