 Unfortunately, the equity court is not empowered to change

The contract in question says:
{{{
5) The contestmaster CAN amend this contract without member objection.

In other words, this change can't plausibly be made unless either root
reactivates, or we flip the contestmaster using the mechanism in the rules;
the second method seems a lot more likely, especially as a new contestmaster
has to be selected. I'm contestmastering Enigma, so I can't contestmaster
the FRC too; anyone want to contestmaster the FRC (and get a contestmaster's
salary, hint hint)? Arguably, it's better for someone who /isn't/ involved
in the FRC currently to volunteer, as they wouldn't run into the problem of
a contestmaster's inability to award emself points.

The contract can still be amended by proposal.
