Success means impressing the judges with creative moves or beating your opponent in crowd reactions; penalties occur when someone falls, hesitates, or performs a repetitive move.

What happens if no clear winner emerges in a round?

The judges or team captains can call for a tiebreaker round, where both players perform a 15-second solo dance; whoever gets louder crowd cheers wins.

Can players opt out of penalties?

Yes, but only if teammates agree to take the drink for them as a sacrifice.

What is the final penalty for the losing team?

The losing team must perform a group dance routine chosen by the winners, and members who don't participate must drink double penalties.
