Hmm, actually, it's true that it must be qualified for, earned, or awarded after the banner is raised, but that qualification could be based on earning a ribbon in the week before the banner and extend until after it. So it's not true that the underlying events for an earned ribbon must happen after the Banner. -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor
