Snare drummers have told me it's because the back end of the stick can get caught in the cuff. Not good!
Speaking of snare drummers, did you see when the SLOT snare drummers did some backsticking? Never seen that before in competition. (Drum fanfares/salutes yes, competition no.)
They also changed the sound of the snare drums for a time. I think they disengaged, then re-engaged, the upper snares. (Just a guess. I know a few years ago a snare-line put some kind of pads on their drum-heads to muffle the tone, then pulled them off later.)
I don't think today's performance is up yet, but here's the same Medley.
At 2:56 you can see backsticking, and at 6:03 you can hear the timbre of the snares changing.
