Here from R2449:
The Herald is then authorized to
award those persons the Patent Title of Champion.
Here from Rule 649:
Awarding or revoking a Patent Title is secured. A person permitted
and enabled to award (revoke) a Patent Title SHALL do so in a
timely fashion after the conditions authorizing em to do so are
announced, unless there is an open judicial case contesting the
validity of those conditions.
I don't see a CAN anywhere, let alone a by "announcement", *unless* the
"authorized" is interpreted to mean "CAN by announcement" which seems
like a stretch, (although it is in a high-powered rule so might have an
impact on the definition).
(Also, since there's been an open judicial case on the Victory Election
win, even if Champion isn't broken, there was no requirement yet for
PSS to deputize to award it).
