\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}
\item The Organizing Committee is the prime legislative body of the Organization.
\item It may contain any number of members, given the number is even.
\item All proceedings of the Organizing Committee are to be conducted either in:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Robert's Rules of Order; or
\item a simplified version or method, decided prior to the proceedings.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{The Judicial Committee}
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Judicial Committee decides on cases of Rules violated and assesses penalties on the violations of such rules.
\item The Committee shall use previous decisions, the \emph{Rules}, and the best traditions of the Common Law to decide upon the issues at hand.
\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.
\end{enumerate}
