Hello to all!
I am Roboticphish, acting project manager for the rules and at-large committees, and it's my job to push this project along. To remind you all, every six months there will be a maximum of ten amendments submitted for analysis by the rules committee (the '5'). They individually vote on each of those submitted amendments, and any amendments which pass are then passed onto the members of the at-large committee (the '25'). That is the stage we are currently at with our first three submitted amendments. This thread will function as the discussion grounds for the changes, which I have outlined here:

Please review it. There are three submitted amendments. The first is a coaching clause, allowing coaching between sets of grand finals. The second amendment concerns clerical changes to wording of the original document, and it is broken up into three sections. When you submit your vote for this section, please note that each of the sections of this amendment must pass separately. All three need not pass, but any section which does not have the required number of votes will not be adopted. Finally, the third amendment includes a colorblindness clause, allowing players to request that their opponent change colors in order to accommodate colorblindness (most frequently red/green).
The 5 opted to go with easy and simple amendments for the first time through the process, just to get everyone's feet wet with how it works. The next amendments under discussion are going to be the 7 minute timer and UCF, so we take a big chomp at the big questions soon. For now, please follow the link below and make sure to cast your vote. You will be given two weeks maximum, and I will start hounding you down after one week, to get your votes submitted. Please be punctual and timely to save everyone trouble. Thank you all for your efforts, and let me know if there's any other way I can help facilitate your discussion.
