This page explains the rules for the 2024 WikiCup. Having the rules codified like this should prevent any confusion or the need for mid-competition clarification. However, the judges reserve the right to adjudicate in the spirit of the rules, rather than to their letter.
The most important rule is that the WikiCup is just a bit of fun – at the end of the day, we're all here to improve Wikipedia. The second most important rule is to treat Wikipedia and other users with respect. If through the WikiCup any participants are hurting the encyclopedia (whether through abusing the rules/systems, creating a negative atmosphere, or whatever else), they will be removed from the Cup. To quote Durova, winner of the 2009 Cup, "Wikipedia is the real winner". Let's hope we can keep it that way.
If in doubt, ask. You shouldn't need to worry too much – the bot will do all the difficult calculations, and is usually very accurate. The rules will not change mid-competition, though clarifications will occasionally be added to this page.
