Have the new rules been instituted yet?

If not,

Have the final rules been established yet?

Any idea when the new rules will be instituted?

Is a shake-up expected in the rankings based on these new rules?

Disregard if these questions have been covered already.

Yes, entertaining to watch the gyrations but I think the idea of the new rules is to try to reduce the manipulating that you refer to. Of course impossible to eliminate but attempt to reduce the blatant manipulation.
