Sequence
Flags first. Letters last. Clay in the middle.
A visit is not a shopping hour. Miles will not unbox a grind because the stamp looks fashionable. The blotter decides whether a region is vacant.
- Rhea takes the scoring set as it arrived from the trunk — no backup set, no range orphan.
- Every head gets a paper flag: pulled, guessed, or passenger.
- Tessa measures bounce width and heel relief on the caliper, then writes the numbers on the slate — not the box.
- We hit a wet-clay lane and a fried-bermuda lane. Same ball you buy. Same shoes you walk Goat Hill in.
- Two tags that want one region go to a duel. The loser sits on the blotter, not in the bag.
- Three tags get ink. Rhea emails the census. Nothing is sold until a vacancy exists.
Saturday mornings skip the full duel unless Miles already promised the window. Walk-ins on Saturday are audits and gift slips.
