'Regel' and 'Reglement' both have to do with rules or regulations. A 'Regel' is usually a single rule or instruction: it says what is allowed or how something should be done. A 'Reglement' is more like a whole set of rules for a specific area, for example for a competition, a club, or an organization. The words can be confused because a 'Reglement' consists of 'Regeln'. In everyday language, 'Regel' sounds more natural. 'Reglement' fits better when you are talking about an official, fixed set of regulations.
