Answer

Ruling: Yes, moving to an open battlefield causes a showdown to open, which gives the opponent a window to gain focus and take actions.

Nuances:

  • Players may shortcut through the showdown if the opponent has all runes exhausted or verbally agrees to pass focus
  • Shortcuts like immediately scoring the point are acceptable if the opponent doesn't interrupt or ask them not to do it
