I imagine there must be precedent where old rules defining entities have been re-enacted, and the players assumed no such entities existed immediately after the re-enactment. Maybe that's enough to favour the interpretation that no sectors exist when the games are revived. But I'd be happier if it were more clear. Are there other reasons to favour that interpretation?
I can think of a few precedents that, after a definition X was repealed, a CFJ that says "X exists" was false. Since that was a precedent, I can't think of anyone who brought up the argument "now that the rule has been re-enacted, those things that didn't exist just before the re- enactment go back to how they were the moment before they were previously destroyed".
