I guess it doesn't really matter anymore lol. It's also possible that this clause was added just for clarification. Will be interested to see how this event is approached given that almost everyone had the same design by the end of last year.

It does specify tire pump too. I know that at two competitions we had last year, they used compressors. Using a pump will cut into your time.

I agree, I've also been to competitions where the event supervisor would use the compressor for you (you tell them psi, they just plug it in). I'm not sure if I like the rule change, but I doubt it'll make a huge difference.
