If Proposal: Start Your Engines, Proposal: Scrapheap Challenge and Proposal: Big Flipper were all enacted, in the rule Bouts, change “Operators have a Readiness, which is publicly tracked, which may be either In the Workshop or Ready, and which defaults to In the Workshop” to:

Operators have a Readiness, which is publicly tracked, which may be either Workshop, Ready, Staging, or Set, and which defaults to Workshop.
* When an Operator’s Readiness is Workshop they may set it to Ready at any time
* When an Operator’s Readiness is Ready and they are named in an Announcement Post then the Announcer should set their Readiness to Staging
* When an Operator’s Readiness is Staging then they may set it to Set at any time
* When an Operator’s Readiness is Set and they are participating in a Bout then the Announcer should set their Readiness to Workshop

Set the Readiness of all Operators to Workshop.
