Seems to me there's only one major change this year.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Just noticed the change - does it make the event easier?

I don't think it really changes the difficulty of this event. It will always be a VERY difficult event to get right.

Exactly what I thought too. I think our state director is planning to make a standard setup, but that's just for states. :( I really hated the device they had at Nationals.

I don't think it would be a bad idea for NSO or at least your friendly state director to post a plan for a standard (state or nats wide) drop device just to clear things up.

(Thought I think my state dropped Bungee Drop last year cause we didn't have a room for it..)

I don't think it'd be a bad idea either. In fact, I'd say that it's almost necessary to create a standard dropping system as the rules don't make that clear. It's like testing bridges without knowing how far the bridge has to span or something. I did Bungee Drop for an invitational, regionals, states, and nationals, AND they had a different dropping mechanism every time. Which means our data was useless XD. Every time was basically a test.
