CHAMPIONSHIP
RULES

Each participant competes in a single 60-minute session on competition day. Every verified song produced during that session counts as one point. The creator with the highest point total in their division wins.

The session runs on the last Sunday of every month, 00:00–24:00 GMT. Participants may choose when within the day to start their 60-minute session.

Starting with the first full 2027 season, a second and independent title layer sits on top of the existing age-division Gold/Silver/Bronze system — it does not replace it. This layer is designed for fairness across unequal infrastructure, internet, and resources between countries.

• Song length: Each track must be between 2:00 and 5:00 minutes. Tracks outside this range are disqualified from the count.
• Format: All tracks must be submitted in lossless WAV format. Lossy formats (MP3, AAC) are not accepted.
• AI-generated only: All content must be generated using an approved AI Music Generator. No human-recorded audio.
• No instrumentals: All submitted tracks must contain vocals. Purely instrumental tracks are disqualified and will not count toward the final score.
• Minimum song structure required: Each track must follow this structure — Intro → Verse → Chorus → Verse → Bridge → Chorus → Outro. Tracks that do not meet this minimum structure are invalid.
• Solo operator: No automation, scripting, macros, or bot assistance. One human operator per submission.

• Screen recording (required for Top 3): Unedited, continuous screen recording of the full attempt. System clock must be visible at all times.
• Tech Log + Hash: Cryptographic hash of the submission folder for timestamp verification.
• Incognito link: Public AI Music Generator profile URL must remain active throughout the review period.
• Audio library: Cloud folder (Google Drive / Dropbox / Mega) containing all WAV files, publicly accessible during review.

Alongside the primary evidence above — which remains fully mandatory and sufficient for everyone — AIWR will approach AI generation platforms (Suno, Udio, and others) to request official confirmation that a specific submitted track matches their server-side generation records.

This layer is limited in scope to the top 3 placements per round (roughly 3 confirmations per month per platform), and sits alongside the existing automatic additional verification for World Champion / Continental Champions / Top 3 and the random ~10-participant audit already in force.

Each month, the Top 3 finishers in each division receive an official AIWR League Certificate — a total of 12 certificates per competition day (3 places × 4 divisions). Scoring is simple: 1 verified song = 1 point. The creator with the most points in their division wins.

Every 3 months, two special merit awards are issued — independent of monthly results:

• Youngest Prodigy Award — Awarded to the most outstanding Pioneer division participant over the quarter.
• Master Legacy Award — Awarded to the most consistent Veteran division participant over the quarter.

No rule changes during a season. Rules are defined before the season starts, published publicly, and apply equally to all participants. Changes only take effect before a new season begins — this applies to both Founding Season and all regular seasons going forward.

Minor administrative clarifications may be published during a season if they do not affect competitive conditions.

Participants are responsible for reviewing the current ruleset before each competition. Ignorance of published rules is not grounds for appeal.

• Use of automation, macros, scripts, or any form of bot assistance during the session.
• Submission of tracks shorter than 2:00 or longer than 5:00 minutes.
• Edited or cut screen recording — recording must be continuous and uninterrupted.
• Submitting tracks generated outside the official competition window (00:00–24:00 GMT).
• Providing false personal information or competing in the wrong age division.
• Failure to keep evidence links active during the review period.
