Official Rules

Read these carefully. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. We enforce these strictly to maintain the integrity of the tournament.

Match Format

  • Each match consists of 1 target UI replication.
  • Players are given exactly 15 minutes per round.
  • No pre-written boilerplates allowed. You start with empty styles.css.
  • Only raw CSS properties are permitted. No Tailwind, SASS, or Less.

Time Rules

  • Late arrival past 5 minutes results in auto-disqualification.
  • If code is submitted 1 second after the buzzer, the last valid saved snapshot is used.

Disconnections

  • If a player disconnects, they have 3 minutes to reconnect to the stream.
  • If they fail to reconnect, their highest score prior to DC is evaluated against the opponent.
  • Repeated intentional DCs will result in a permanent ban from ARUVILI events.

Reporting & Disputes

  • Any suspected use of AI generation (Copilot, ChatGPT) must be reported to referees immediately.
  • The referees' decision is final and non-negotiable.

Code of Conduct

  • Be respectful in chat and direct messages.
  • No harassment, toxicity, or unsportsmanlike behavior will be tolerated.
  • We welcome hackers of all backgrounds. Keep the workspace inclusive.
