That they were retired isn't a big deal, why they were retired isAll this for a little change in Revo division? This is pretty ridiculous! Should have thought that one thru further.
The stages are not illegal based on the rules, but they were retired because of the advantage created by 8 round minor
So going forward stages (speed shoots and standards stages which are what 99% of classifiers fall under) will need to be 6 round neutral, otherwise they too will have the same issues as the 19 retired.
Which means that at some point the BoD is going to have to address 1.2 Types of courses and either add classifiers have to be 6 round neutral or change what speed shoots and standard stages are so everything is consistent and now you are changing a hell of a lot more than just letting 8 round minor in revolver.
The reality of it is that it is a big freaking mess, and no easy way to clean it up.
If you just put those back in and continue forward with 8 round minor then the fear of people going and running up GM scores because of the advantage of not having to reload based on what the HHF are now is real
You also can't just tell revolver division that none of your classifiers count for the next year until we reset the HHF, how fair is that to someone
So the decision was very short sighted and the effect is very board and has the ability to change the face of the sport based on how they handle types of courses of fire going forward.
