S26 Rules Summit Results

[LimJahey]

On the graphics one, I don't understand why that (and some other similar rules that have been proposed) needed to be passed during a rules summit. There's no rule specifying the Twitter or Media grading scales, those teams just come up with them (presumably with HO approval). If the Graphics team really wants to limit submissions, why did they need to put it on a rules summit ballot rather than changing it themselves?

In general what each department does and doesn't have the authority to do on their own, and what things should be handled by league vote vs. handled by department decision, should be much better defined IMO.

In terms of this, I vaguely remember our old head Cal talking about not being able to change submission rules, so when I took over I took it as something that would have to pass during a rule summit. I never really questioned HO on if it was something I can or can’t do at my own discretion, but going off of the vote it doesn’t look like it would’ve been a popular rule to pass anyways.
