"For 2025 and beyond:

2) The Colors must be a minimum of 3' x 4';

3) The organizational flag must be a state flag or JROTC flag ONLY;

4) Fringe is OPTIONAL on all flags; and

5) All Army teams MUST use a SPADE as their top finial while all other services must use a finial IAW their service manual."

With these rules now in place, judges will no longer be told to utilize any subjectivity on the degree of difficulty anything maintains to execute - they "judge what they see as they see it".
