Battle Rules & Formats

The official rules every challenger agrees to when booking a TikTok LIVE battle against SHC creators.

Match Timing

▸Both creators must go LIVE at least 10 minutes before the scheduled match time.
▸Battle link exchange happens via the in-app match code (e.g. SHC-8801).
▸A 5-minute grace window applies; after that the slot is forfeited and reopened.

Battle Formats

▸1v1 Standard: 10–15 min single round, highest diamond count wins.
▸2v2 Tag Team: 20 min, combined squad diamonds. Both creators must be live.
▸Speed Match (3m): 3-minute intense burst. Instant rematch if within 5%.
▸Diamond Rush: 15 min, no glove restrictions, pure diamond race.

Diamond Targets & Scoring

▸Each slot lists a minimum diamond target — challengers should be able to reach it.
▸Winner is determined by total diamonds received during the active match window.
▸Pre-match gifts before the timer starts do NOT count toward the score.

Eligibility & Conduct

▸Challenger must be a verified TikTok LIVE creator with an active agency or network.
▸No view-botting, fake gifts, or third-party diamond injection — instant ban.
▸Respectful on-stream conduct required. Hate speech = permanent network block.

Glove & Powerup Rules

▸Glove powerups allowed only at the 2-minute mark in Standard formats.
▸Diamond Rush: gloves unrestricted. Speed Match: gloves disabled.
▸No stacking multiple gloves in a single 30-second window.

Confirmation & Rescheduling

▸All requests are reviewed by an SHC coordinator within 24 hours.
▸Confirmed matches can be rescheduled once, up to 12 hours before start.
▸No-shows are logged and affect future booking priority.

Violations & Enforcement

Any rule violation results in immediate match cancellation and a review by the SHC coordinator team. Repeated violations lead to a permanent ban from the SHC Open Matches board.
