Watching for 2024 Handbook

[Abe E.S. Corpus]

With the changes announced by SASS being effective January 1, 2024 I expected to see a new Handbook by now.

It would be nice if the WBAS Handbook would incorporate the changes to the CAS rules that are still out for TG voting.

The handbooks, usually, come out after Jan 1.

I don't know why the WBAS handbook would incorporate the changes to the CAS rules. Different sport, different rules.

I realize that.

One of the changes up to CAS TG voting is to treat the shotgun the same as the rifle in regard to movement from the LT to staging.  That’s a change that I understand was already being considered for WBAS.  It makes sense because we load the shotgun similarly to the rifle.

Anyone know the answer to this:  Will the new rules list Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy as regular Wild Bunch categories?  Misty's announcement appears to say that, but a posting about EOT could be read to mean that has been changed.

Which  came out latest, the EOT posting or the new Handbook? If the Handbook is the newest, it takes precedence over the EOT posting. I believe.

Never mind, the new Rules are out!   https://www.sassnet.com/the-shooting/cowboy-action-shooting/handbooks-rules

Will a redline showing all the changes from the prior version be available, or (as with prior revisions) a summary of the changes?  I see a few changes that were not in the SASS announcement in 2023.

After reading the new Wild Bunch handbook, I noticed that the Section 8 Wild Bunch RO Pocket card, looks exactly like the Cowboy RO pocket card. No revolvers in WIld Bunch. I contacted the SASS HQ office for clarification.
