My understanding from reading the 2017 rules is that the semiautomatic BUG class has a division capacity of 6, but it does not allow 1 extra in the chamber. My local IDPA match says the BUG class has a division capacity of 5+1.
In many stages, the difference is significant (when/where & how many reloads necessary). So is there a newer rule book? Or am I misinterpreting it? Or is my local group just behind the times?
And why on earth is BUG-s the only division that doesn't allow +1?
