how thick is the flag pole itself? cause the people on my team that mounted the flag pole used some really thick bolts and there doesn't appear to be enough room for the flag, but we're not entirely sure...
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this...
-Team 1247 thanks you

According to The Manual, Section 8.2:

FLAG – A colored (red or blue) bicycle flag used to display ALLIANCE assignments during a MATCH. The flag itself is made of a triangular piece of colored plastic or fabric, measuring approximately 9 inches tall by 11 inches long. The flag is mounted at the end of a 1/4 inch diameter fiberglass flagpole, approximately 36 inches long. The flagpole will run through a rubber stopper, which will be sized to fit in the top of the flag holder (as specified in Rule <R17>). The purpose of the stopper is to help prevent the FLAG from becoming dislodged from the flag holder during the MATCH.
