A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

I want to make sure I understand the rules correctly here.
Can I announce Contested Market's action and then bow the holding to pay it's own cost and still have the ability trigger? I think so because you annouce the action while is unbowed and then bow it during the pay cost portion and the ability would still trigger.

Correct.
