Contest Rules

Eligibility

• Chefs must be 18+ and have an approved chef application.
• Chefs must stream live from their own kitchen with camera and mic on for the full round.
• Employees of Stream Sizzle and their immediate family are not eligible for cash prizes.
• Where a prize is offered, local law governs — void where prohibited.

Battle format

• A battle is two chefs across one or more timed rounds.
• Each round has a published duration. When the clock expires, the round closes automatically.
• A round result is recorded for every round; the series winner is the chef who wins the most rounds.

Scoring

• Assigned judges score each chef on taste, presentation, creativity and challenge execution, 1–10.
• Fan votes are one per signed-in account per round and are enforced by the database.
• Judge scores and fan votes are combined using the weighting published on the battle page.
• Scores are calculated server-side. Nothing in the browser can change a result.

Disqualification

Vote manipulation, alternate accounts, leaving the stream mid-round, unsafe kitchen practice, or abuse of judges or viewers can result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prize.

Prizes

Stream Sizzle battles do not currently award a cash prize. Battles are played for ranking, reputation and creator earnings from gifts — see the Refund & Payout Policy. If a prize event is ever offered, an authorised administrator must publish official rules covering eligibility, dates, location restrictions, entry method, winner selection, taxes, disputes and notification before that event is shown publicly.
