It was accidental, and I went red any way because I know I messed up, and it messed me up. When my opponent has done it, and I know its accidental, I still just do my normal routine.

I guess I haven't really thought it through enuff; if somebody double bulbs, how does that hurt his opponent? When it happens to me, I just take my normal time, go up and pre-stage, stage, then race. What I don't like is getting burned down by some one who is pre-staged, but then won't stage promptly once I'm in. But that's part of the game, gotta stay focused on the tree and ignore the other racer.

By double bulbing I would take it that is when a guy goes staight up to stage and without waiting for you and trips both sets of bulbs? I have always waited for the other guy to set the first set of bulbs, then I set my first and when he set the second set then I set mine or vice versa. Is that proper??
