Appendix: Suggestion to bold all the terms for easier readability. Add "4CCC", "host", "season", "executive action", and "commissioner" to this section.

Chapter 1: 1. The 4CCC is the organizational body of the 4chan Cup. The main purpose of the 4CCC is organizing the Cup and making executive decisions.

2. The size of the 4CCC is to be decided on the consensus of the members of the 4CCC and should a consensus not be reached the discretion of the commissioner.

4. The 4CCC reserves executive right regarding all decisions relating to the cup.

5. The Commissioner may not manage a team during their tenure.

6. The 4CCC may veto any executive action of the host as it may deem fit to do so, by the procedure here specified: 6.1 Any member of the 4CCC may call for a veto. Another member must second the motion to initiate a vote. 6.2 Once initiated, all members of the 4CCC, including the host, have 24 hours to vote yea or nay to the motion. The member who called the vote is responsible for conducting the vote, either by manual tally or by some other measure (such as a polling site). The vote cannot be anonymous. Members may abstain from voting. Abstention is treated as a vote of nay for the purposes of the tally. 6.3 The motion must receive at least a 60% vote of yea to affect the veto of an executive action of the host. 6.4 If the motion is passed, the host cannot attempt to take the same executive action again at least until the following Cup season.

7. It being necessary to the ensured prosperity of the Cup, the 4CCC may depose and replace the host as it may deem fit to do so, by the procedure here specified: 7.1 No more than once per Cup season, a member of the 4CCC may call for a vote of no confidence in the host. Another member must second the motion to initiate a vote. 7.2 The border between seasons is defined as one week after the final match is played. 7.3 Once initiated, all members of the 4CCC, including the host, have 24 hours to vote yea or nay to the motion. The member who called the vote is responsible for conducting the vote, either by manual tally or by some other measure (such as a polling site). The vote cannot be anonymous. Members may abstain from voting. Abstention is treated as a vote of nay for the purposes of the tally. 7.4 The motion must receive at least a 60% vote of yea to affect the removal of the host. 7.5 If the motion is passed, the office of host is immediately vacated. The powers and responsibilities of the host are temporarily assumed by the 4CCC to be handled as a democratic committee. During this temporary transition period, the deposed host remains in the 4CCC, but does not receive a vote in subsequent proceedings. 7.6 The 4CCC has one week to replace the deposed host. Members may nominate non-banned individuals to the office of host. A nominee succeeds to the office on a simple majority vote. 7.6.1 At their appointment, the newly elected host makes a determination either to allow the previous host to serve as a voting member of the 4CCC or to remove him or her from the 4CCC and associated groups. 7.6.2 If after one week the 4CCC fails to elect a new host, the deposed host reassumes their position as host. The 4CCC cannot move to depose the host again until at least the next Cup season.

Chapter 2: This parts has some major rewrites so I'm just going to list the rewrite.

1. Any person wishing to represent their board as a manager must go through the verification process. 1.1 A person looking to get verified should contact a current member of the desired team's staff if a person currently holds that position as well as the commissioner. 1.2 A person who has already undergone the verification process for another team must have not been a manager for their previous team for 2 cup seasons and alert the commissioner before becoming a manager for another team.

2. Only the 4CCC has the authority to add or remove another person's name from a team's infobox.

3. A manager is the team's manager for as long as their name is listed on the team's wiki page in the infobox under IRL manager. 3.1 When resigning managers must remove their name from the IRL manager section of the infobox of their team's wiki page.

4. Managers cannot resign while the team they are affiliated with is participating in an official tournament or else they can be suspended from future Cups.

5. Each board can have an unlimited number of staff but it must be made clear which member(s) of staff have been verified. These persons will be listed as IRL manager on their team page.

6. Before a team's match it must be made clear to the host who will be relaying tactical instructions for a team. 6.1 Only one verified manager for each team may relay tactics to the host during a match. 6.2 Should an intra-staff disagreement take place during a team's match then it is at the host's discretion to either decide whose commands take precedence or run the team as though no instructions were issued until a consensus between staff is reached.

7. Should there be a dispute between staff that results in a staff member wishing another staff member to be removed then the procedure varies based on the number of staff. 7.1 If there are two members of staff then the 4CCC must be alerted and will make the decision on how to proceed. 7.2 If there are more than two members of staff then a vote must be conducted between the staff and its results brought to the attention of the 4CCC and will make the decision on how to proceed.
