\section{The Code}

\subsection{Definitions}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item For the purpose of the \emph{Over Under Code of Rules}:
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item \emph{The Code} -- A reference to the \emph{Over Under Code of Rules}.
        \item \emph{The Rules} -- \emph{ibid.}
        \item \emph{Rules} -- \emph{ibid.}
        \item \emph{Rule} -- a singular item or cluster of related items within the \emph{Rules}.
    \end{enumerate}
    \item Definitions within the \emph{Rules} may be defined inline.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Purpose \& Interpretation}

\begin{enumerate}
\item The \emph{Rules} have a threefold purpose:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item To perpetuate, by standardization and the rule of law, fairness in competetion;
    \item To establish and ordain a soverign committee to oversee the actions within competetion; and
    \item To bring about the review of actions over the course of competetion by way of a Judiciary Panel.
\end{enumerate}

\item The \emph{Rules} shall by interpreted with the aid of:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item The spirit and best tradition of the \emph{Rules} firstly and the relevant technical definition second; and
    \item The historical tradition of the topic at issue, including previous rulings of the Judiciary Panel and the general traditions of the relevant peoples.
\end{enumerate}

\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Mechanics of Syntax of the \emph{Rules}}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item The \emph{Rules} are formatted:
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item by Sections;
        \item within Sections, Subsections;
        \item within Subsection, Subsubsections;
        \item within Subsubsections, paragraphs;
        \item within paragraphs, points; and
        \item within points, subpoints.
    \end{enumerate}

    \item The means of subdivision above are to be known as the \emph{Elements of Subdivision}.

    \item If needed, Elements of Subdivision may be broken down further in accordance to their nature.

    \begin{enumerate}
        \item \emph{Rule of interpretation.} 
        By nature, it is indicated the lexigraphic formulation of the relevant Element of Subdivision.
        For example, division of a subsubsection is known as a subsubsubsection.
        The equivalent applies for the subpoint -- that is, the division of a subpoint is a subsubpoint.
    \end{enumerate}

    \item The Elements of Subdivision shall be used:
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item In a way that is judicius and consistant with the numbering and best style with the rest of the \emph{Rules}; and
        \item In a way that is similar to the usage of the Elements of Subdivision in other relevant legislative documents.
    \end{enumerate}

    \item The \emph{Rules} shall contain consistant syntax and natures of speaking.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Mechanics of Citation} \label{mech-cite}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item Indiviual rules may be cited by the resulution of their respective Elements of Subdivision into an means of address.
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item The process of resulution is the enumeration and resultant concatination of the various Elements of Subdivision to form the \emph{Rule Address}.
        
        \item \label{mech-cite-oper} \emph{Rule of interpretation.} The application of the Rule on this Rule would result in the Rule Address \ref{mech-cite}.\ref{mech-cite-oper}.
    \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Mechanics of Amendment} \label{mech-amend}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item \label{mech-amend-oper} The Organizing Committee, by simple quourm, may make amendments to the \emph{Rules}.
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item The amendment takes effect only after passage by the Committee.
        \item \emph{Rule of interpretation.} The Rules specified by the amendment may not be retroactively applied to past alledged violations.
        \footnote{See the Common Law concept of ``Double Jeprody''}
    \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\section{The Organization}

\subsection{Overall Structure}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item The Organization is composed primarily of the Organizing Committee, with a series of various subordinate committees.
    \item A subordinate committee may only be created with the amendment of the \emph{Rules}, as specified in \ref{mech-amend}.\ref{mech-amend-oper}.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{The Organizing Committee}
\begin{enumerate}

    \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{The Judicial Committee}

    \item The Committee shall have three members, elected by quourm of the Organizing Committee.
    \item A member of the Committee may be recalled by a four-fifths vote of the Organizing Committee.
