Put me down as seconding that puzzled reaction.

If it's to cut down on the possibility of bias before the reading actually
begins, then we should logically ban authors from nominating their own
stories, period. But I'm not really in favor of this, since most
competitions rely on people entering themselves.

So my position: if you've got something you *want* to have compete, and
nobody is nominating it, enter it yourself and see what happens.
