FOX Sports College Football Bowl Pick'Em Challenge
Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.

1. DESCRIPTION: The "FOX Sports College Football Bowl Pick'Em 2010 Challenge" ("Challenge") is an online "beat the spread" college football bowl prediction Challenge. The Challenge sponsor is FOX Sports Interactive Media, LLC ("Sponsor"). The Challenge Administrator is Creative Zing Promotion Group ("Administrator"). The Sponsor and Administrator will collectively be referred to herein as the "Challenge Entities." A maximum of 200,000 prize-eligible entries (as described in Section 3) will be accepted during the registration period.

• The Challenge is limited to the twenty-eight (28) College Football Bowl Games (each, an "Eligible Game" and collectively, the "Eligible Games") detailed below.

 

ELIGIBLE GAME CHART - DATES & TIMES

• The Challenge registration period begins on November 22, 2010 at 12:01 am Eastern Time ("ET") and ends on December 31, 2010 at 11:59 pm ET ("Registration Period"). IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GRAND PRIZE, AN ENTRANT MUST BE REGISTERED PRIOR TO THE FIRST ELIGIBLE GAME AND MUST MAKE A PICK FOR EACH ELIGIBLE GAME.
• Prior to the lock time of an Eligible Game, Entrants (as defined below) will have the opportunity to use their skill and knowledge of college football to predict the winners of each Eligible Game during the college bowl season by proceeding to the Challenge page and completing predictions (a "Pick") for each Eligible Game according to the on-screen instructions. Entrants can join the Challenge at any point during the Registration Period. An Entrant must make a Pick for each Eligible Game in order to be eligible to participate for the Grand Prize; an Entrant does NOT have to make a Pick for each Eligible Game to be eligible for the First Prize. The last date and time to submit picks for Eligible Games taking place on January 1, 2011 or anytime thereafter will be December 31st, 2010 at 11:59 pm PT. All Eligible Games taking place prior to January 1, 2011 will lock five (5) minutes prior to kick-off; all Eligible Games taking place after December 31, 2010 will lock at 11:59 pm PT on December 31, 2010 (see chart above).
• The spread ("Spread") is the projected number of points by which one team (the "Favorite") will beat another team (the "Underdog"). Spreads, as determined by STATS, Inc., will be updated daily.
• Each correct Pick is worth one (1) point. No points will be awarded for ties; no points will be deducted for losses. Each Entrant must "beat the Spread" in order to be awarded the point. For purposes of this Challenge, "beating the Spread" shall be defined as entering a Pick for the team that has the highest number of points AFTER subtracting the Spread from the actual points scored by the Favorite team, (Example: The RED Team is the Favorite by a Spread of 6 points over the BLUE Team, which is the Underdog. The RED Team wins the game 12-9. The winning Pick is the BLUE Team since the Favorite RED Team only won by a margin of 3 points which was NOT sufficient to "beat the Spread")
• Picks must be entered according to the Eligible Game Chart; in the event that a Pick is not entered before the Game locks, this Pick will be counted as an incorrect selection against the Entrant's record.
• Additionally, Entrants will be asked to predict the final score of the BCS Championship Game to serve as a tie-breaker. Tie-breaker rounds are detailed in Section Four (4) of these official rules.

2. ELIGIBILITY: Challenge is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington D.C., who are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in the state of primary residence at time of entry ("Entrant"). Each Entrant must have Internet access as of November 21, 2010. Each Entrant must be the rightful owner of the e-mail address identified in the Entrant's entry. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a winner, the winner will be deemed the person in whose name the email account was opened. Employees, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of Challenge Entities, STATS Inc., and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, agents, representatives and promotion and advertising agencies, together with the immediate family members and those living in the same household of such persons, are not eligible to participate in the Challenge. Challenge void where prohibited.

Once registered, Entrants then submit Picks for each Game, according to the instructions and Spreads as detailed on the Website and in the Challenge Description in Section One (1) of these Official Rules. ENTRANTS MUST PLAY WITH THE SPREAD TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CHALLENGE.  (Note: During registration, Entrants are given an option to play with the Spread or without the Spread. The Entrant must select "Yes" to play with Spread to generate an eligible Challenge entry.) After entering selections, Entrants must click the "Submit" button on the form to register the Picks. If Entrant does not submit the Picks, according to the instructions, the Picks will not be valid. If Entrant wishes to make changes to Picks, Entrant may go back and change a Pick any time prior to the lock time for each Game. No changes or revisions will be permitted after lock time, as detailed in Section One (1). All information provided by Entrant becomes the property of Sponsor. ONLY THE FIRST ENTRY CREATED BY AN ENTRANT WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CHALLENGE PRIZE. IF THE ENTRANT DELETES HIS/HER FIRST ENTRY THEY WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PRIZE. AN ENTRANT CANNOT ELECT TO USE A SECONDARY ENTRY IN THE CHALLENGE. ELIGIBLE ENTRANTS MUST SUBMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES. NO OTHER METHOD OF SUBMISSION WILL BE ACCEPTED.

4. WINNER SELECTION, NOTIFICATION & TIE BREAKERS: All potential winners will be determined ONLY from eligible entries received in accordance with the Official Rules. The Grand Prize will ONLY be awarded in the event that an Entrant submits a "Perfect Pick Record". For purposes of this Challenge, a Perfect Pick Record is defined as an Entrant correctly predicting the winner of each Eligible Game according to the Spreads. If no Entrant submits a "Perfect Pick Record" the Grand Prize will not be awarded. The Entrant with the highest non-perfect point score at the end of the Contest (or tie-breaker, if applicable) will be declared the first prize winner, pending eligibility verification. Potential winners will be notified by telephone and/or email within approximately seven (7) days of the "best record" determination date. The Challenge Entities shall have no liability for any notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a Potential winner. If a Potential winner is notified by phone, the notifying party shall not be required to leave a message. In the event of a tie for any prize, the tie will be broken according to the Tie-Breaker Game prediction. Entrants must correctly predict the winner against the Spread of the BCS Championship Game, plus predict the final score for the BCS Championship game. Tiebreakers are then applied in the ORDER detailed below:

• Entry that correctly predicted the winner against the Spread of the BCS Championship
• Entry that was the closest to the total points for the BCS Championship
• Entry that was the closest to the home team points for the BCS Championship (home team is the highest-ranked team in the final BCS Standings)
• Entry that correctly predicted the winner against the Spread of the Sugar Bowl

The Challenge Entities reserve the right to disqualify anyone not fully complying with the Official Rules. Potential winners will be required to respond (as directed) to the notification within 72 hours of first attempted notification. The failure to respond timely to the notification may result in forfeiture of the prize and, in such case, Challenge Entities will determine an alternate winner, based on the standings. Winners may be required to verify their address and return within five (5) days of first attempted notification an affidavit of eligibility a liability release and, unless prohibited by law, a publicity release (collectively, the "Prize Claim Documents").
