It seems I've already reported this – there's an issue with heroes appearing in the tavern who shouldn't be there.
I've already had Gelu and Galthran appear in the HotA tavern. While Gelu was obvious, I couldn't quite recall if Galthran was supposed to be there. I had some doubts, but the idea that "anything is possible in HotA" prevailed. I didn't have time to test it with an Overlord timer. :(
In HotA, many things are possible, but in a HotA tournament, slightly fewer things are. For example, there was this post:

Dear players – if you see an obvious bug, don't be happy about exploiting it.

Instead, contact your opponent or the judges and decide how to proceed.

The Dave_HUN-Benis match will be replayed with the same castle/heroes/rollback.

The bug is indeed similar to the Hvruul bug, so until it's fixed, we'll proceed as follows:

- If Gelu/Dragon arrives in the tavern on day 111 with troops, restart.
- If Gelu/Dragon arrives in the tavern on day 121/131/141, etc., with troops, load the blue player's autosave from the previous day.
- If Gelu/Dragon arrives in the tavern with a single sniper/sorcerer, disband them.
- If Gelu/Dragon is released from prison, disband their army; you can also ask your opponent to disband the hero's army from the symmetrical prison (there may be various issues here, we'll decide on a case-by-case basis).
- You cannot use Gelu/Dragon's specialization.

Since I don't know the full extent of the bug, similar restrictions apply to HotA campaign heroes (Bidli, Tark).

If it turns out that Galthran/Sir Mullich can also appear, the restrictions will be the same as for logistics heroes.
