- It is forbidden to use cheat codes, unauthorized programs, and bugs resulting from the use of additional software and files during a match.
- No one has the right to open saves of an unfinished game except for the judge, and only if a disputed situation arises in the game.

- Viewing the hero's skill tree via software tools is forbidden (equated to maphack).
- Watching the opponent's game stream, either online or recorded, before the end of the match is forbidden (equated to maphack).
- It is forbidden to open the map being played in the editor before the end of the match.
- In case of connection loss or game crash, the last autosave is loaded; players are obliged to repeat all their moves as accurately as possible up to the moment of connection loss or crash. If the tournament judge considers that one of the players intentionally changed the order of actions, the player may receive a technical defeat in the match. In case of regular intentional violations of this nature, disqualification from the tournament is possible. In case of connection loss or crash on the first day of play, heroes are assigned randomly.
A game is considered finished when one player has completely destroyed the second or one of them surrenders, which must be confirmed via ICQ. Only after this is it permitted to open saves and view the map in the editor.

The game can be played via Hamachi, Remobo, COMODO EasyVPN, GameRanger and similar programs. If players are unable to connect with each other, they must immediately contact the tournament judge. The blue player creates the game.
6. Since there is an autosave before the break of simultaneous turns, it is recommended to save the game once every 3 days. After the break of simultaneous turns, the blue player is obliged to save the game at the beginning of each of their turns.
7. The tournament is conducted in one stage using a round-robin system. By default, "new" templates from March 30, 2017 are used for generation. Each match is played in BO2 format in AllRandom mode; for the first game, the template and races are chosen randomly by the judge or players using a random number generator (for example, on the website randomstuff.ru).
