Not done.....There is no rant just unanswered questions followed by a lot of defensive posturing above. I certainly did not mean to denigrate all SO performances....just a few. Nor was there intent to slam the match as a whole. The reality is that someone should have paid more attention to potential safety issues i.e muzzle related DQs.
Percentages are what they are......They show (trite phrase to follow) the good, bad, and ugly. As stated before......It would seem that we as MDs, SOs, and IDPA leaders would want to create stages that lessen the potential for muzzle related and other DQs. As I stated earlier...every DQ for a safety violation is a potential liability issue. We should design stages that eliminate potential muzzle related DQs period. If a 180 is imposed on a specific bay make sure the stage is designed to keep the muzzle more or less downrange and eliminate as much lateral movement as possible. If a shooter must open a door have them address it straight on. Eliminate opening doors, whether L or R, in a hall and have ports or windows instead. Eliminate the potential to turn uprange by making movement to the next shooting position a forward angle. Always keep the left-handed shooter in mind while designing stages. Simply try to DQ proof stages as much as possible. This is what we do at TX State on every stage every time we host it.
The best match an MD could hope for would be one that's DQ free......This is a game we are playing...people spend a lot of money to participate....make it fun.
