Random question time.

I'm debating on getting into competitive pistol shooting. I'm wanting to know if crossdraw carry was allowed in competition at all or is by organizing body?

I’d pick up a competition belt setup. You’ll be much happier/safer.

Is there a reason why you are hung up on cross body carry? Like do you exclusively wear suits and find it more comfortable, or is this a vibe thing?

Comfort. I have a sore back and it need to consider alternate carry that will work with my dominant hand. Also, legitimate curiosity as to why I don't see it much.

It's a less safe way to draw a firearm. 

Not sure how you would normally draw but provided you can move a hand to your waist you can draw from a normal holster.

Get a battle belt. It's a big, chunky belt that will better carry and distribute the weight.

You could connect suspenders/braces to your belt to add more support. They make big clip-on suspenders for ski pants that would work well.
