As I recall, adding the "awarded" trigger was to make it work for Gray ribbons. Also, the award doesn't affect it *in this particular case* because Transparent can't be awarded within 7 days of Raising a Banner, and the lookback window is also 7 days. So, any events that count for Transparent must happen after the Banner. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor
