In the rule Bouts, immediately after the first bulleted list, add the following:

Operator changes to any of a Bot’s physical hardware components (i.e. anything defined in the rule Bot Loadout) may only be made when the Operator’s Readiness is Workshop. Operator changes to a Bot’s software (i.e. anything defined in the rule BotScript) can only be made when the Operator’s Readiness is Workshop, Ready or Staging.

If, at any point during a Bout, one of the participating Operators has had their Readiness set to Set for the last 48 hours and the other has not changes their Readiness from Staging since the Announcement Post for that Bout, then the Operator whose Readiness is Staging forfeits the match and the other Operator is the Winner for that Bout.
