+\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}
