Strangely, I think this is the reason that there has been so much uproar about this rule....some experienced teams have gone to quite a bit of effort to get this equipment, and have become used to having it around. It really is a great loss to have it taken away. At young regionals like AZ, no one expects it to be there, so we do without, and all goes well.

I was trying to explain this to my son last night, he couldn't see what the big deal was about update 16.
