As a new penultimate paragraph of the rule Winners at War, add the text:

It is permissible for the Announcer to deviate from the stated schedule by delaying for some amount of time, however in the case of intentional delays of fifteen minutes or more, the announcer should make a best effort attempt to inform all impacted Operators about the delay and the expected time of the next step of the schedule being performed. Once this expected time has been announced, the announcer should strive not to perform that next step before the expected time is reached. (Exception: The step for actually running the bout after all operators are set does not require an expected time even in the case of delays, and if such a time is stated anyway, the Announcer is not obligated to stick to that time.)

If this proposal is enacted, it causes the link to the governing ruleset to be updated to the wiki page revision that contains this newly added paragraph.
