No. It's not possible to play on a patch.
It's an interportal tournament, who knows what might suddenly come up, like in the For Sale tournament... It's better to be overcautious than undercautious.
I think that playing on a patch will allow you to prove your point better than playing without a patch, in the case of a difficult-to-reproduce battle, like in the For Sale tournament!:smile01: And do we need any extra arguments among the participants and organizers?
P.S. In Heroes 1, for example, even 50 repetitions by the organizer may not be enough to reproduce a particular battle.
