Ken I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for or expect an explanation on this the "official" IDPA forum.  There was a misunderstanding, some info was admittedly not disseminated. Again as this is the official IDPA forum, there is a vehicle for clearing up confusion relatively quickly. I appreciate the response from Robert, but I wouldn't consider it timely. I know in my business, if I make a mistake and it is not tended to in a timely manner, customers assume the worst. At that point I have to do what I can to fix the mistake AND perform some damage control.  It seems to me that's what happened here. I'm not sure how often someone at HQ is checking the forum, but I think a quick check daily could prevent similar issues.
