Self-ratification goes back at least as far as Rule 352: http://agora.qoid.us/rule/352 Not less than once a week, the Speaker shall post the current scores of all Players to the mailing lists, making his best efforts to determine the correct scores. If a Player feels the posted scores are incorrect, he may make a Call for Judgement, stating what he believes to be the correct scores. If the resulting Judgement is TRUE, the scores stated in the Call for Judgement become the official scores of all Players. Otherwise, the scores posted by the Speaker become the official scores of all Players. If no Call for Judgement is made during the week following a posting of scores by the Speaker, the posted scores become official, that is, each Player's score is changed, if necessary, to the amount posted by the Speaker.
