Capture Some Flags

In Capture Some Flags, there are 3 flags per team. Both teams must capture each flag in a linear order, meaning they go 1-2-3, and so on. There is only one active flag at a time per team. The capture zone is whatever flag your team is currently on. Upon capture, there is a 3-second delay for the flag to reappear.
