In the rule Sports Resolution, rewrite the first sentence to read:
The Bookie may generate the resolution, using their Resolution Method for that sport, to any Sporting Event in advance of the time at which it takes place.
Rewrite the rule Sporting Events to read as follows:
The Sports that can occur as part of a Sporting Event are as follows:
* Nomich
* ClingBoom
* Giolitti
* Blogbots
* Boxing
Each Sport has public elements and secret elements. The public elements that make up each Sport are detailed in subrules to this rule. The subrules to this rule also specify which secret elements are tracked. Secret elements to a sport are kept privately by the Bookie.As a minimum, a Sport should have the following public elements: a list of potential Participants, a number of Required Participants for a Sporting Event, and a list of Potential Outcomes. A Sport should also have a method of resolution as a secret element, which the Bookie should set once before the first time a Sporting Event involving that Sport is resolved, and then only amend as directed by the ruleset.
Sport Participants may have qualities, which are usually specific to and defined by the respective Sport. When a quality is secret, it is privately tracked by the Bookie. When a quality is public, it is publicly tracked. Whenever a Participant exists who does not have a value for quality required by a Sport for which they are a Potential Participant, then the Bookie should (and must, before resolving any Sporting Event in which that Participant is a Participant), at their first opportunity, generate that quality by any mechanism defined for that quality, or by generating a random legal value if no other mechanism is defined.
Each Participant in each Sport has a public value for Track Record. To initialise a Participant’s Track Record, the Bookie should generate 10 dummy Sporting Events that involve that Participant, and set their Track Record to the number of times in that 10 Sporting Event streak they won. Thereafter, each Participant’s Track Record is increased by 1 every time they win a Sporting Event.
Repeal the subrules Soccer, Bloggsball, and Estate Agent Wrestling. Remove any upcoming Sporting Events that utilise any of these as a Sport. Remove any Bets for any Sporting Events thus removed.
In each of the remaining subrules to the rule Sporting Events, replace the Method of Resolution with the following:
Secret Element: Method of Resolution.
