It's curious that in the Fairy section entries are required to have no fairy content.

Indeed.

Also the announcements in the helpmate and selfmate sections are very restrictive.

"In the fairies section (help-selfmates in 3 to 5) fairy pieces and conditions are not allowed."

Are "pure" helpselfmates considered (almost) orthodox, nowadays?

If helpplay and play for a selfmate are considered as orthodox, then - yes.

Although I am not really happy about choice to restrict some sections of 6th FIDE World Cup, after all it is a discretion solely of a tourney organizer, if it is not WCCT, FA or WCCI.

Today is the deadline for sending entries.
Could anyone give explanation if Group E (h#3) includes h#2.5?
I asked the judge, and he would also like to know the answer.

Marjan, I did not say "I do not know," I said that only h # 3 is allowed

Well, the list may be useful, but in such a tourney I'd prefer complete anonymous judging.

by the way, catch Andrei's own page for his 50-Jubilee tourney. He awarded an amazing #2 1st Pr., which features a theme developed by Vasyl Dyachuk and Anatoly Slesarenko. Pavel Murashev joins them this time, expanding the Erochin-LeGrand combination to include 3x2 Zagoruyko, I believe, for the first time....amazing!!

@ Frank Ritcher. I think the Director only will know the authors.

@seetharaman
I think what Frank means is a hypothetical situation like this:
Suppose a problem is submitted anonymously that stylistically clearly belongs to either composer A or to composer B.
Now simply revealing that either A or B did not took part in the tourney compromises the anonymity of the entry right away.
And if we also suppose that the judge has a prejudice towards either A or B... the whole point of anonymity is lost.
