    Each point down will now equal 1 second added to your time...

    According to Facebook this was announced at the Whirled Chute. No date on when it will go into effect.

    This has been a suggestion from Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn in the past, as well as others. Of the changes in recent years I don't think this one hurts at all. I'd still like to see some more practical carry gear allowed, even if just mag pouch placement OWB's were allowed forward of the hip. Hell, even just a more forward and canted mag pouch would be a start. The irony is that canting it allows for better concealment for defensive use.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I doubt that it will have my effect on the game at the upper levels. Most of the shuffling will be at the the mid to low levels with the fast running hosers dropping a position or two to the ones that are almost the same speed but slightly more accurate.

    But if you can't sprint into and out of shooting positions you are still going to lose. Because you rarely have a choice on how to shoot a stage, IDPA is more determined by who can move the quickest between shooting positions, and less about the shooting.

    LAV & Hackathorn talked about this at the 2011 Carolina Cup during one of our breaks. They were both saying that they were gonna push the issue back then.

    And when the fast guys keep winning, what then? Put a NRA Bullseye centered on the center of the 0 down zone?
