My interpretation is (Once ASAP after the end of the month), (the contestmaster may announce) (that e performed duties). In order, the condition, the action, and the announcement. In particular, I made the announcement without performing the action. Of course, I'm biased, but I don't think it's worded so that 'being the contestmaster' is a condition-- if you allow "conditions" not worded as such, you could take it even further by rewriting the sentence as "an announcement MAY be performed if it's by the contestmaster, it's ASAP after the end of the month, and it says that e completed duties". Therefore other announcements MAY NOT be made.
