THE CLIP GAMES: RULEBOOK & SYSTEM PROTOCOLS

— Brought to you by Cliptect —

THE 5-STEP CLIPPER WORKFLOW

  1. 1

    Fast-Track Sync

    Create your free account and connect a channel on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and X Video. We read your followers and average views to place you in Academy Cadet, Bronze, Silver or Gold Tier instantly — bigger channels get the BlueCheck badge on day one.

  2. 2

    Pre-Register & Target Sync

    Browse upcoming tournaments and request to join the ones that match your audience region. Your past view and comment averages count toward the team target that unlocks the tournament.

  3. 3

    Secure Vault Access

    The moment a tournament goes live, the creator's private raw-footage link unlocks for you. Download the uncompressed 4K masters and the brand's tagging and call-to-action rules.

  4. 4

    Bake the Whitelabel Layer

    Edit your clip, add eye-catching animated subtitles, and place the transparent [✓ Clip-Army Approved] overlay in your caption area. This marks your clip as licensed so platforms don't treat it as a copy.

  5. 5

    Publish & Track

    Post the clip on your channel and paste the live link into the tournament. Your verified views climb the leaderboard in real time; the top 5 win cash when the clock hits zero, and you keep 80% of ad money for life.

THE 5-STEP CREATOR WORKFLOW

  1. 1

    Account Launch

    Open your brand or podcast account in minutes. There's no subscription — you only commit money when you fund a specific tournament.

  2. 2

    Deploy the Bounty

    Set your prize pool, view targets and target regions. The pool is held in escrow through Stripe Connect, so it's a secured budget line — not an upfront spend. Miss the targets and you get 100% back.

  3. 3

    Lock the Vault

    Paste the link to your raw-footage folder. It stays hidden from everyone until the tournament goes live, and then only verified, qualifying clippers can open it — zero brand leakage.

  4. 4

    One-Click Whitelist

    Every approved clipper is added to your official whitelist roster automatically, so their clips are recognised as licensed distribution of your brand rather than duplicate content.

  5. 5

    Collect Traffic & Royalties

    Watch combined views, engagement and cost per thousand views on your dashboard. Prizes pay out only when results are delivered, and you earn a 10% lifetime ad royalty on every clip made from your content.

🚨 ANTI-CHEAT & DATA INTEGRITY MANUAL

Botting & Traffic Manipulation

View farms, click-bots and any engagement-boosting software are strictly banned. Our background checks follow each clip's audience retention curve and its likes-comments-shares-to-views ratio, and catch sudden spikes that real viewers don't produce.

PENALTY: Immediate link removal · zero payout · permanent account blacklist

Multi-Account Syndicate Exploits

One person, one account. Duplicate registrations are detected through browser fingerprinting and by binding every social channel token to a single profile, so the same channel can't enter twice.

PENALTY: Automatic profile merge · pending balances forfeited · permanent Stripe payout block

Algorithmic Hijacking & Brand Poisoning

Every clip must carry the transparent [✓ Clip-Army Approved] vertical broadcast overlay, and may only use the creator's own vault footage. Mixing in third-party content or hijacking another brand's audience is not allowed.

PENALTY: Immediate link disqualification · whitelist tracking rights removed
