Final Thoughts
The Flying H event was a rollercoaster of emotions, from accusations of guessing to physical confrontations. It’s clear that as the competition heats up, the margins for error are razor-thin, and every millisecond counts. While guessing the tree has always been part of the game, this event has brought the tactic into sharp focus.
