I missed this last year, and whilst I do not wish to engage on the merits of "if one sporting code is open all others should be", the fact is a resumption letter is passed through to the relevant organizations via the bodies they join. So if SADPA does not affiliate to SASSCO (as an example - which is one of the ways of being recognized IMO) they may not be able to resume legally. Technically we can all do what we wish but as law abiding citizens, should we?

We should act as our consciences dictate. Competing in an IDPA/SADPA match is no more likely to cause spreading than lots of other things that we are granted leave to do by the grace of the clown in the doek and her minions IMHO.
