The flags have been working for me so far and haven't changed functionality since previous years. Your problem might be due to the lag/rubberbanding slamming the server right now from everyone trying to run Risa. Might need to report a bug, but might also just need to wait for a slower time. Another thing you might try is to force verify on the launcher to see if you have some file corruption causing it.

Only problem I have is to stop at the right moment / position to grab the @#$@# flag. I've 'lost' more races from first place than I've won, just because I overshot the @#$@# thing. Getting better at doing a powerboard jump without pressing forward (immediate stop) or taking off my floater at the right time, but its still more losses than wins. I really wish they'd just make a finish line and the first person to actually cross it, wins. Or whoever lands on the finish platform for the biathlon first. Not this #$% flag thing.

You have to know where to stop throttling. You need to coast into the finish line. You might get lucky and bang that F key at just the right milisecond while blasting through at full throttle, but it's better to finish 2nd than to not finish. Also, using the arrow keys instead of the mouse when you're powerboarding helps, then spam the F key at the end.
For the biathalon, slap your powerboard and your floater into numerical slots (mine are in 4 and 5) and use the numberpad for the transition. Once you're in the air, hit B and steer with your mouse.
Also, you can instance hunt. Look for an instance with 2 or 3 people in it. Less competition that way.

Good point, thank you - I do that too, but its usually pretty busy across the board. I actually don't mind not coming in first - I plan on getting my lolnuts mainly from the exchange (although I do want my racing accolade ) , I just dislike how a 'race' is decided by whoever manages to mash a button at the right time, rather than the minutes of actual racing beforehand.

would be easier if they just set it by crossing the finish line, but NOOOOO.
