Withdrawn. Failed by Kevan.

After the first bullet list in “Bouts”, add:-
If any Operators have a Readiness of Set, proposals may not be enacted.
Locking the ruleset once somebody commits to a Bout, so that they know the rules won’t change during that match: that they won’t have to try to take multiple possible rulesets into account when programming their bot.
I’m not really sure how the pacing will shake out on this in practice, but the Announcer having complete control over the Ready→Staging bottleneck (plus the proposed 48 hour timeout below) should keep things in check if the queue slows down too much.
SingularByte: he/him
I’m not sure I’m entirely comfortable with this. We could easily end up with a proposal lockout for a week at a time if we get several bouts at once and people stagger their Sets.
