Thumb and forefinger? Hammer down, not in the half-cock?

My old 75B manual said to put the weak thumb between hammer and pin, pull the trigger and drop the hammer onto the thumb, then slip the thumb out and let the hammer rest on half-cock - which is the normal "down" method of carry for a CZ.

Why do IPSC rules require a less safe technique, for a hammer position not intended by the designer?
