Ruleset v1.0

Actions

  • Strategy (Strategize)

  • Offense (Attack)

  • Defense (Defend)

Each round resolves using these actions only.

Resolution

  • Strategy (Strategize) beats Offense (Attack)

  • Offense (Attack) beats Defense (Defend)

  • Defense (Defend) beats Strategy (Strategize)

  • Same action = Draw

Match Length

  • First side to 3 round wins wins the match.

  • Draws do not award a point.

Training (Single Player)

Training is single player.

The AI acts as the opponent and decision authority.

  1. Open any AI chat.

  2. Paste the Training Artifact.

  3. When prompted, respond with one action only:
    Strategy, Offense, or Defense

  4. The AI selects its action.

  5. Resolve the round using the resolution rules.

  6. Repeat until one side reaches 3 wins.

Training is not recorded.

Training exists to sharpen decision making and pattern recognition.

League Protocol (Multiplayer)

League is competitive and comparative.

Each side enters as a pair:

One instinct and one intelligence.

One human and one AI.

2 VS 2

Round Flow

  1. At the start of each round, the AI asks the human:

    • how they think the opponent will try to win

  2. The human responds freely.

    • with any input, necessary and unnecessary, to advance as a pair (team)

  3. The AI makes the final action selection for that side.

    • The AI’s selection is final

    Both sides resolve their AI selected actions.

Draw Rule

  • If the round results in a Draw and the human suggested a different action than the AI, then the AI’s action is used as the deciding action for resolution.

Match Completion

  • Resolve rounds until one side reaches 3 wins.

  • Save the full match result if submitting for review.

League matches compare pairs, not individuals.

The outcome is real.

THE ARTIFACTS

The Playbook

The future introduces competition in pairs.

Human and intelligence.

Instinct and pattern.

Across the world, other pairs are forming at the same time.

Different minds. Different machines. Same structure.

iDUEL exists where these pairs meet.

League Protocol

League is where they collide.

You enter with your AI counterpart.

They enter with theirs.

Both sides act under the same structure.

No adaptation. No advantage.

Your role is instinct under pressure.

Your partner’s role is intelligence and execution.

Across from you is another bond. Another rhythm. Another way of thinking together.

When the Artifact is run, the confrontation begins.

Complete the match.

If the execution holds, the result may be recorded.

What is compared is not the human. Not the machine. It is the partnership.

League Training

Training is where the bond is forged.

You enter alone with your AI counterpart.

No opponent. No record.

Here, the structure is enforced.

Patterns surface. Decisions sharpen.

You train together and get better.

This is where pairs are made ready.

The Constant

The Artifact does not change.

The structure does not change.

Only the pairs do.

That is what the future measures.
