It's like doping in sports. Some people take it, hoping they won't get caught, while others don't. If the ban on doping is lifted, most athletes will start using it. Here, in Heroes, if this rule is lifted, a similar situation arises: if you want to get a slightly better result, you'll start using load saves (but not everyone has unlimited time :).

Why don't you write to the organizer? Maybe he'll allow +5 Castle Development on the first week – anyway, they won't be able to build that many castles so early.

Alex_R is right in the previous post. You'll save time and won't get more troops, then you can continue by loading/saving just before the battle for a bit longer, or something like forcing the computer to run in another direction.

Graveyards and dungeons are removed because any artifact can be obtained from them.

7) When a week or month with an additional troop bonus or plague effect occurs, the player must replay that week/month until a neutral result is achieved. If achieving a neutral result proves difficult, the judge must be notified immediately.

This rule CAN be tracked. To do this, all players must make daily saves. And, upon request, provide them along with a detailed walkthrough.
As for the example given above, a level 1 hero is not considered "leveled up"; a leveled-up hero is one that has gained at least one level.

No, it's practically impossible to track, dear Qwerty!
If a computer manages to eliminate 3 heroes riding centaurs on the first turn:

If a computer manages to eliminate 3 heroes on Hippogryphs on the first turn:
And what if it's on turn 2, 50, or 150?
