So, I just saw this description and was a bit confused. I'm not really familiar with fate so forgive me if I'm missing some sort of basic idea here. It seems one of the restrictions is rather vague and can possibly be problematic. That restriction is the one of "The battle must not involve personal gain."
Now, how exactly does fate define for personal gain?
This requirement seems to be contradictory to others such as "The battle must be to live," and "The battle must be to save the world," Since I assume those are things that Saber would want. However, wouldn't the very act of fighting in the first place be for personal gain? He's gotta be fighting for a reason. If self defense his gain is that he keeps living, if fighting for someone else it's obvious, etc. Hell, some people and philosophical views would argue that literally every action an individual takes is out of some sort of self interest.
So basically, how does this restriction ever get lifted?
