- randomly for each game (the corresponding option is set in IRMG before map generation);
- players are free to choose a template for each game by mutual agreement;
- any combination of the above template selection options for each game.
List of templates for map generation: crown, letos, m3, mask, labyrinth, rainbow, spider, sun. The blue player starts crossing out.
FACTION SELECTION one of the following options in descending order of priority:
- performed via a standard cross-out according to the 1-2-...-2-1 scheme from the full list for each game; Each player has their own list of factions: Haven, Sylvan, Dark Elves, Barbarian, Academy, Fortress, Inferno, Necropolis. The blue player starts crossing out. He crosses out 1 faction either for himself or his opponent. Then the red player, during the cross-out, may: either cross out 2 factions for himself or his opponent, or cross out 1 faction for himself and 1 for his opponent. After that, the blue player, during the cross-out, may: either cross out 2 factions for himself or his opponent, or cross out 1 faction for himself and 1 for his opponent. During the final cross-out, one of the players crosses out 1 faction for himself or his opponent. That is, the cross-out scheme is: 1-2-2-...-2-1, where the specified number is the number of factions crossed out: for oneself, the opponent, or both simultaneously, but in total (for both players) not more than the specified number. As a result of all cross-out actions, each player must be left with 1 faction. These are the ones you will play. - randomly for each game (the corresponding option is set in IRMG before map generation);

Playoff stage.
The draw for the quarter-finals is performed randomly; subsequent games follow the scheme presented in the header of this thread. Throughout the playoff stage, play follows the bO3 scheme, except for the final which is bO5.* In the second/third/fourth/fifth game, participants switch colors. If opponents in the playoff stage fail to finish a game (I.E. THERE IS NO CONFIRMED GAME REPORT IN THIS THREAD), the judge will decide the result based on information received from the opponents about the games.
4. The use of any bugs, undocumented features, cheat codes, as well as unofficial programs and modifications is prohibited, except for the TE mod itself (and programs creating virtual networks). Use of interface mods that do not change game mechanics is permitted.
5. In case of connection loss or game crash, the last autosave is loaded; players are required to exactly repeat all their moves up to the moment of connection loss or single crash. If a connection loss or crash occurs on the first day of the game, heroes are randomly rolled again.
6. In battles between players, a stalemate situation may arise (where neither player can win). In this situation, the attacking side must retreat or surrender (at their discretion). If the Shackles of War artifact is involved in the battle, then upon a stalemate, the battle should be finished in AutoCombat mode.
7. Each participant has the right to 1 restart with map regeneration for each game against every opponent, no later than the second day of the first week of the first month. The end of the day is considered as pressing the turn-end button, regardless of whether the opponent finished their current turn or not. Generating all 3 maps before starting the game is not mandatory. The first map can be generated, and then each subsequent one only after a player's respective restart.
7.1. Simultaneous turn disconnection or desync in week 1 - technical restart (except cases where both players are ready to continue the game).
7.2. Simultaneous turn disconnection in week 2 and later - the game continues (except cases where both players are ready to start the game over).
8. Each player may request a technical restart if a map bug affecting the course of the game is discovered during play. Information about the map bug, supported by a screenshot, map file, and other evidence, is sent to the judges for a decision on the validity of the restart request.
9. "Red-rush" is prohibited, meaning an attack by red on the first day of the week with purchased growth (the red player may attack on the first day, but without purchasing growth).
