I CFJ: "Rule 2713 imposes a requirement for the Numerator to grant players
their scored numbers in a timely fashion"
Arguments:
This is just standard quibbling over vocabulary. This is the only instance
in the rules where "timely manner" is used instead of "timely fashion" -- is
there a difference?
On the one hand, the phrases in their natural definitions are synonymous. On
the one hand, "in a timely fashion" is defined by 1023 in quotes, implying
exactness of wording.
(@Arbitor, this probably isn't useful enough to the judge in this case to be
worth considering it as a gratuitous argument)
We've had this issue before -- proposal 9132 [1] cleaned up all the
instances in the rules at that time. However, I don't know offhand whether
or not there was ever a ruling about the equivalence of the two wordings /
lack thereof.
