Not exactly...
Odin has vast matter and energy manipulation abilities, as well as his magic. He can't utilize Supes weakness to red sunlight, kryptonite, or magic in this battle, or destroy the sun outright per the stipulation. However, those are not the only options available to him. Per forum rules both characters have the publically known knowledge of eachother:
Basic Knowledge
Each side receives basic knowledge of the other. A good measure of this would be what the general population of the character's homeworld knows. For example, that Superman has a weakness to Kryptonite is general knowledge, but that he's Clark Kent is not.
Supes just so happened to provide an interview to a newspaper detailing how his powers work (the effects of yellow sunlight on his Kryptonian physiology) and what his weakness is. Odin will know that Supes is solar powered just as everyone else does. Odin can alter the frequency of the solar power Supes is absorbing, or easier still, simply place a spell on Supes that blocks him from absorbing more sunlight, then the battle ensues until one or the other's reserves are depleted since Supes will be cut off from his power supply. That method of attack is allowed given the stipulations of the match and also perfectly viable:
Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.
Supes is not punching Odin out in the first picoseconds of the fight, and Odin has far too many options at his disposal to lose to Supes, even in this scenario. It's simply a matter of not assuming this battle is a status quo slugfest, which seems to happen far to often amongst members here. There's no reason whatsoever for Odin to allow that to happen, Odin being a master combat strategist. This is not a plot driven comic battle. Per forum rules both combatants use all of their abilities to their fullest extent, meaning that Supes, though initially faster, likely does not have what it takes to put Odin down considering the vast array of abilities Odin can bring to bear, the fact that even though Supes will likely land the first few blows it is not likely that Odin will be incapacitated and unable to teleport himself away to regroup, stop or slow time, or simply raise a shield, then enhance himself via numerous enchantments.
From that point forward it's Odin's match.
If you assume Supes can knock Odin unconscious before he can erect a forcefield, stop time, or simply teleport himself elsewhere (or all 3), more power to you.
I, however, disagree.
