Functions of the organizers: publishing information on the website, monitoring the deadlines for the rounds and the finalization of round results, notifying participants and judges of Competitive news on forums and via email, technical monitoring of website operation and software necessary for the tournament, creating Hamachi networks, assisting tournament participants (consultations, resolving issues with mismatched time zones, troubleshooting in-game).

Functions of the judges: resolving complex game situations (checking saves, resolving disputes, making decisions regarding players missing round deadlines, etc.), awarding results, reviewing appeals and complaints, drawing lots.
The list of judges may be expanded or adjusted before the start of the tournament.
Information and Technical Sponsors:

• League of Heroes (www.heroesleague.ru)
• HeroesWorld (www.heroesworld.ru)

• Hero's Corner (www.heroes.ag.ru)
Functions of information and technical sponsors: publishing information about the championship, providing a platform for comprehensive tournament information (League of Heroes), providing dedicated mailboxes for organizing committee members.
SOFTWARE, SETTINGS, AND MAPS
The tournament is held on the latest available version of Heroes IV — Equilibris 3.51. No third-party modifications are permitted.
The following communication tools between players may be used: hamachi, gamespy, direct connect. After the start of the tournament, players must join the corresponding hamachi subnet so that organizing committee members can track player activity and have a universal method of communication with everyone.
To communicate between players, it is recommended to use ICQ or MSN (forums and email as a means of communication with an opponent will be considered as a last resort).
Maps for the tournament must be proposed by the organizing committee (each judge has the right to submit no more than 5 maps for the tournament; overlaps are permitted). After the publication of the maps proposed by the organizing committee, anyone wishing to do so may "add" maps to the tournament — the list must be public. There are 7 calendar days to "add" maps, after which the list is locked and voting on the maps begins. The 10 best maps based on the voting results will be used in the championship. You can vote only once and only if you are participating in the competition (other votes will be annulled at the start of the tournament). Voting is automatic and closed. Results are published only after completion. The duration of voting is 7 calendar days.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The championship is conducted using a Double Elimination system with a final four (winners' final + losers' final) without qualifying stages. Participants of the winners' final have an advantage over participants of the losers' final in the form of the right to choose the map. The size of the bracket depends on the number of registered players.
The drawing of players is conducted by judges with a seed for the eight strongest players based on the results of the 2008 championship.
DEADLINES AND DATES
July 1: publication of tournament materials, maps selected by the organizing committee, opening of the possibility to add/withdraw judges or maps, opening of registration for the championship.
July 7: locking of the map and judge list, start of voting on maps.
July 13: end of voting on maps, publication of the final list.

14 calendar days are given for each round. The responsibility for starting and completing the game lies with the first player (the first player in the pair, acting as the host). He must inform the judges in advance if the opponent is missing. If a deadline extension for a round is necessary, the first player must submit a request to the judges or organizers no later than 24 hours before the end of the round. In the event of a disputed situation (time mismatch, absence of one or both participants), the decision on the match result is made by the judges by a majority vote.
TOURNAMENT RULES
Competition rules must be prepared by the judges no later than 21 days before the start of the championship.
