I. Rules and Templates.
1. Game version. The tournament will be held on the SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod version 4.1 (or the latest available version) + HW_rulez 1.38 game versions (if a new, relevant patch is released, this rule must be amended).

The host generates a pair of random castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins to be deducted from their opponent's account. If at least one castle repeats during regeneration, that same player may (but is not obligated to) request a free regeneration until a new pair of castles appears.
4. After trading castles, players trade colors.

3. If it is impossible to determine the playoff qualifiers based on previous indicators, the players will be offered a scheme of transitional games.
