Here are the rules for our upcoming Console Master Class 2026 Tournament:
https://blackdesert.pearlabyss.com/Console/en-US/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=12858

Arena of Arsha / 1v1 Tournament (Same Equipment, Same Class)

  • Trial characters will be provided with special event gear (AP 375, DP 435).
    The above AP and DP stats reflect what you get after equipping Arsha's Gear III purchased from Haz in the Battle Arena and completing the Adventure Log with AP & DP rewards.
    How It Works
    ① Before your match, log in with your registered Trial Character and wait for instructions from the [GM].
    ② When it’s time to start, accept the Arena of Arsha match invitation.
    ③ Once both participants are in the arena and ready, the match will begin.
    Match Duration Each round lasts up to 3 minutes.
    Victory Conditions
    Main to Semifinals: Best of 3 (first to 2 wins)
    Finals: Best of 5 (first to 3 wins)
    Dark Fog Mechanics

▲ The Arena of Arsha’s Dark Fog gradually closes in as the match progresses

  • The Dark Fog appears 10 seconds after the match begins.
  • It starts to close in at the 1-minute and 2-minute marks.
  • Entering the Dark Fog will reduce your HP by 500 per second.

Your questions and a lot of the others I've seen in chats here are for the most part answered by going to the link above.

I didn't bother pasting every single portion of the rules, but at the very beginning of the quoted text you should find that it spells out clearly all participants will be using the same equipment fighting their same class, and that it is expected you will have +10 AP and +10 DP from Adventure Logs. If you do not, there's still plenty of time to knock those out, otherwise anyone unwilling to do those will be fighting at a disadvantage of their own creation.
