Interpretation of IBCA Pit Rule

[cabrego]

Hey guys what the heck does this IBCA rule mean?

  Pit shall be of a design that contains individual cooking chambers and heat sources (no sharing of heat sources).

I have an email sent to them but I figured I would ask the forum.  I am hoping some one may reply with some useful information/insight/experience etc.

The rule is intended to prevent multiple teams from using the same pit/heat source, i.e., each team should have its own pit with own heat source.  There was a case where two teams entered a competition with a double tank pit that shared a firebox- that is a no no.  The pit would have been fine if it was a single team.
