The CZ75B can compete in either SSP (if decocked) or ESP (if run with the first shot cocked and locked). There is some disagreement as to whether running the pistol is SSP requires a complete decock with the hammer lowered to the frame, or if you can decock only to the safety notch (which is consistent with the CZ decocker models). I think someone on this board is asking IDPA for a ruling on that question. Additionally, there seems to be some issue as to what happens if you have a AD/ND while decocking. Some say you are automatically DQ'ed. Others say that if the bullet isn't within 6 feet, then is not an automatic DQ, but you may be DQ'ed at the discretion of the SO for unsafe gun handling.

If the IDPA rule book definition of decocked overrides all other factors, then why aren't those shooting decocker models forced to drop the hammer past the half-decocked position?

It sounds to me like the choices are allow it to compete in SSP when de-cocked as specified in the manual or else let it compete only in ESP.
