What is a "flag down"?
In lacrosse, a flag down refers to a situation where a penalty is called during play, and the referee throws a yellow flag onto the field. The flag signals that a player has committed a foul, and play continues until the team with the ball is stopped. Once the play is halted, the referee will stop the clock and assess the penalty. A flag down situation often results in an advantage for the opposing team, where they have more players on the field for a short time, giving them a chance to score.
Example
