If everyone got to play with a spare briefcase, it wouldn't have mattered as much to most people. Quite right, that would be more fair, instead of blatantly UNfair. BUT, when a top shooter in contention to win the match gets an advantage like that, it becomes significant, even if everyone else gets to play with the prop. Matches are won or lost on the smallest of advantages or disadvantages. The guy who has to work a prop-manipulation stage(call them novelty stages) has an enourmous advantage over someone RO'ing an 8 round standing speedshoot. To say it all works out is hogwash.DVC1911 said:Slavex,
Then there is IPSC luck, or lack there of. How many times have you worked a stage, all day long, had your strategy perfected and then everything that could go wrong does.
The issue Alex brought is a relevent one that could have been resolved by having an extra brief case and letting the competitors try it.

Why are we trying to justify an unfair advantage with more unfair advantages just distributed differently? Wouldn't it be create more harmony and goodwill among shooters by leveling the playing field by eliminating these sort of problems?
