FT Pistol Scope rule

At my last FT shoot I overheard a group talking about pistol FT optic rule change that is coming this year. That it would be legal to have a scope over the 12x as long as the scope was set on 12x. I didnt ask any questions as I was setting up to shoot. Anyway I would like to set up my 1720 I do not have a suitable scope now. I dont see a big selection that stops at 12x on the market. Is the rule change a hopeful rumor?
