I would suggest a slight amendment and calling both CFJs at the same time, with 
the suggestion that both be assigned to the same judge. Probably most efficient 
that way. My suggested CFJs are:

> “All pure active players could have won by announcement on the Effective Date 
> under rule 2580"

and 

> “D. Margaux and G. won on the Effective Date by announcement under rule 2580"

(second one omits V.J. Rada and PSS because they are impure and so trivially 
could not win)
