Maximum of one entry per person. Each participant must submit an entry on their own behalf.  Any entry submitted by a contestant on behalf of another individual or using another person’s name will be disqualified and ineligible to claim any prize.  Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries allowed by using multiple/different identities, or any other methods will void that participant's entries and that participant may be disqualified.  Any person found in violation of this provision will be disqualified and all entries submitted by that person will be ruled ineligible for any prize award.

All entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned.

Finalist Selection & Notification:  A random drawing will be held on or about 2/20/2012 to select a total of (1) finalist from among all eligible entries received for the chance to participate in the grand prize contest. The selected finalist will be notified initially by phone.  If the Administrator is unsuccessful in its attempts to reach the potential finalist by phone after an initial attempt to the phone number listed on that finalist’s entry, that finalist may be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate finalist may be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above (time permitting).  Messages will not be left during the notification process.  During the finalist notification phone call, the potential finalist must confirm their eligibility, and indicate their willingness to attend and participate in the grand prize event scheduled to occur on 2/22/2012 (see below) at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY.

Finalist selection is non-transferable.  The selected finalist must attempt the Basketball Shot Challenge on their own behalf.  Any selected finalist who does not meet the eligibility requirements, does not wish to participate in the grand prize contest, or who is unable or unwilling to attend the grand prize event will be disqualified.  An alternate finalist will be randomly selected per the procedures outlined above, time permitting.  Decisions of judges in the selection of finalists, and all matters related to this contest are final.

Only the contestant selected and notified by sponsor will be eligible to participate.  All other entrants are ineligible.  Selected finalist must be present at the date, time and location as specified by sponsor to participate in the grand prize contest (scheduled for 2/22/12 at the Carrier Dome). If the finalist fails to appear by the required deadline they will be disqualified.  Difficulties with getting to location to participate in the contest are not the responsibility of Sponsors.  Contest administrator in its sole discretion, reserves the right to select an alternate finalist to replace any disqualified finalist from those present on the day of the grand prize event.  Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to change the date, time or location of the grand prize contest.  Selected finalist will be notified of any changes at the time of their selection and/or notification.
