Authorized Host Controls
ADMIN AUTHORIZEDPrepare your approved Twitch/Kick username list from hotdropfps.com/handson. The backend creates one private, one-time key per approved username.

Host Preflight
This checklist is an event-day safety guard. It does not replace official rules, beta testing, or the post-event audit review.
Protected Admission
Paste approved Twitch/Kick usernames only, one per line. A leading @ is optional. The backend rejects duplicates and generates one one-time private key for each approved username.
Save and privately send each username its matching key now. Plaintext keys are returned once and are not stored for later retrieval.
Before roster lock, an unclaimed private key may be reissued for the same approved username if it was exposed or lost. Unclaimed or claimed-but-not-checked-in entries may be closed with a required audit reason. These controls do not add replacement contestants.
Create an event, then add approved usernames to issue keys.
Host-Only Visual Mode
Available to authorized host accounts only. Live Mode now uses the same labeled PC model shown in Debug View so component interaction requests stay visually clear for players. The shared server-verified hotspot map never changes.
If you pause during a warning or active prompt, void that round before resuming so no player is penalized.
Host Incident Log
Use this for beta rehearsal issues, disputed prompts, network/check-in concerns, stream interruptions, moderation notes, or anything that should be tied to the protected audit record.
Winner Verification
Use this only after the event reaches winner-pending or review-required status. Locking final results does not fulfill the prize by itself; it records that the event logs were reviewed and the public result may move into verification/fulfillment follow-up.
Contestant View
NOT JOINEDA host must create an automated sandbox event before test contestants can place their hands on the PC.
Enter the exact Twitch/Kick username approved by HotDropFPS and the matching private one-time key that was sent to you. The key binds that username to your signed-in account.
Required Before Claiming
These acknowledgements are recorded with your key claim. Read the event rules and privacy notice before continuing.
Complete every acknowledgement to activate the key claim button.
This event is no longer accepting key redemptions or contestant replacements.
Contestant Access
Your assigned username and one-time key have been claimed. Complete network-restricted check-in before the host locks the starting roster.
Local emulator only. On the deployed event portal, check-in uses backend-observed network information.
One-network check-in: Your network is detected securely when you check in. A second contestant checking in from the same detected network is denied under the event rule.
Your raw network address is not shown publicly. Staging stores a protected keyed fingerprint only for check-in collision enforcement and audit review.
Device Handoff
Activate this device before gameplay so it can submit interaction checks and request protected breaks.
You may move play between your PC and phone using the same signed-in account. Only one device can control gameplay at a time. Switching devices never pauses or extends a presence-check deadline.
Player Controls: Use breaks only between checks. Your next required presence check appears directly below.
Healthy Play
Breaks may be started between interaction checks once the event is live.
Break approval, expiration, and reuse timers are server-controlled. Breaks cannot begin during an incoming or active interaction check.
