The ring
A trail elbow is a token. High, paid, or tucked. Not a cartoon.
We do not sell shapes. We clip whether the trail arm flies, berths, or pins on this salt, in this fog.
A pretty finish can hide a pinned trail. Players call a tucked token "lag they meant." The yard calls it a ring that does not match the sequence. Boce writes the salt. Ivey writes HIGH, PAID, or TUCKED. Maren hangs the ring on the matching nail.
Paid tokens are boring and that is the berth we pay. Intracoastal wind will still interview the ring. If the nail says PAID, it means we watched the trail arm, not the highlight.
