ECOIDPA Express - $15 cost? Under the Assignment title says $10, typo?
How's the Express work?
"Ken's up; Joe's on deck; Steve is in the hole; Bob is in the deep hole....No, wait, this A-hole is 'shooting through,' so you guys can wait...and by the way, he's not taping targets and expects you mopes to pick up his brass. But hey, he paid us $15"
I guess it's like letting someone play through on the golf course. But probably more complicated.
The squad I'm usually on runs slow enough without people trying to play through.

If you aren't a good enough sport to allow 1-2 people to shoot through that may have an appointment or something else going on, maybe ECOIDPA isn't for you? And if they are moping around not helping tape or brass then ECOIDPA isn't for them either. We all volunteer to do this so we can have some fun, we are trying things we haven't seen at matches before to see if we can offer more fun and possibly a better experience all around. Some stuff will work, others won't.
Also you need to look at it this way, your squad size won't change. You will likely start with 1 of the Express people on your squad, who will shoot and then leave. See it's not so bad!
And if it sucks all around after a match or two we will ditch it, like I said it's a test

Yes was a typo, thanks for pointing it out

If we never tested anything, we'd still be poking dinner with sharp sticks and walking everywhere.
We let people shoot through occasionally and it's no big deal. I always make sure to get their brass as well.

answered that one for me-thanks!
We all shoot matches of our choice, if something like that is a big issue for you, then I'd rather you get out to a match you'd enjoy. That wasn't meant as a snide remark, for clarifications sake. I want you to enjoy the shooting sports you get out to, it helps us all grow no matter where you choose to shoot.
