    If I really disliked a flag the symbolism wouldn't matter but I do love to learn what they mean and it could sway me if it the symbolism was particularly good.

    I usually look up something before I vote or sometimes I'll vote because I like the look of something, & then ill have a read up afterwards. But tonight I haven't looked up a single thing because I'm all over the place.ace. so I appreciate the effort of others looking up the info & taking the time to actually then post it :)

    I looked over and I would have voted for the qualifier in every bout I missed except one which I mention below. Was really surprised when reading over thread thinking that Maori flag would go out but thankfully it stayed.

    I really loved these flags:
    Northern Territory, Central Province, Tino Rangatiratanga

    One result I didn't agree with
    Guam v Gambier Islands. Guam looks like a cheap holiday brochure. I really liked the Gambier Islands flag. My vote wouldn't have changed the result though.

    Really love these tournaments Omackeral. Thanks for running another one. Looking forward to tomorrow.

    We have 11 matches left in Round 1. A lot of beef to get through. I might get some late afternoon matches up but the majority will be in the evening I'd imagine.

    I never do holidays because I don't fly (control issues they tell me) so I actually wouldn't recognise the difference in a cheap holiday brochure or a luxury holiday brochure.

    I really liked the Gambier Islands flag and spent a while reading about the islands last night. The photos of there are very pretty and the history was really interesting too.

    I have to bring a family member shopping today so I will be around to vote but I might not be able to research in late afternoon. Will be around for evening ones though.

    I don't know what kind of person I am but I really never hankered after travelling to far away places. Just boring I guess.

    Agreed. Although Morph carrying a bit of a tree is a bit weird too.

    Eastern Highlands please.

    That shell on the other looks awkward and west new britain sounds like someone trying to rename Ireland.

    There is also an island called New Ireland, next to the island of New Britain.

    Don't really like either, but Eastern Highlands is better than the weird shell on the other one.

    For what it's worth I actually prefer the flag of New Ireland to our own Ireland flag. Could be a dark horse in this.
