  1. IDPA "membership" is not really membership in terms most people think of. You don't have much say in the company which is run solely by Joyce. The only say the membership has is what she says you have or you vote with your renewal dues.
  2. What is a "cover trap"? To me, its a term I personally use to warn myself of out of cover areas when planning a stage during my walk through. Personally, I don't know if anyone else uses the term and I've certainly never heard it in reference to a stage design. Its just simply an area to me in the stage, sometimes more open areas, sometimes not, where the chances of being out of cover to a different target while engaging another target is higher. At one spot I'm good, but two feet another direction and I'm out of cover. Most of the times we are dealing with nice, corner positions with a straightforward slicing of the pie. But certainly out of 12 big stages at a major match…you will not have that at every position. Its not like USPSA where the fault lines are laid out. Of course in IDPA, one needs to think about those things at each position and incorporate it into your stage plan.I also have the "reloading trap"…like potentially being stuck in the open, on the move, with an empty gun. What to do? Run to the closest cover position, reload and either go back and reengage those targets on the move again or move on. Or maybe I reload before I get to that area and I've got all the rounds I need. Then there's the "temp me to do something stupid" trap…all kinds of traps in IDPA stages to me. Those evil stage designers! Its good to see this was a normal IDPA match in more ways then one. Thanks. It sounded as if someone was forced by design to be out of cover then penalized for it. I really haven't seen a stage where someone couldn't be in cover if you actually tried to be in cover.
