Whoops. Sorry, I missed those in my proposals. Free Tournaments are
just plain broken, because, as you say the rules require an officer.
The birthday tournament should still work though. The dubious section
is "By doing so e promulgates those regulations as a special temporary
title of the ACORN. This title may thereafter be amended only by the
Herald or eir designee without objection, to correct minor typos."
There is no longer an ACORN, and we can't tell from textual context
what it would mean for there to be one, so it fails to work as
intended. The next sentence could behave in one of two ways. 1)
Sentence 1 has failed completely, so there's no such thing as a title.
Sentence 2 fails. 2) Sentence 1 succeeds in defining something called
a "title of the ACORN", and putting these proposals in it. Sentence 2
works.

Which one of those is the case is academic unless you try to amend the
regulations. I'll write up a fix proposal when I get a chance, and I'm
planning another distribution soon.
