“PICK ‘EM TICKET GIVEAWAY” CONTEST RULES
The “Pick ‘Em Ticket Giveaway” (the “Contest”) is a weekly contest sponsored by United Soccer League, LLC (“Sponsor”) and governed by these official rules (“Official Rules”). By participating in the Contest, each entrant agrees to abide by these Official Rules, including all eligibility requirements, and understands that the results of the Contest, as determined by Sponsor and its agents, are final in all respects. The Contest is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law.
The Contest is open to legal residents of their continental United States where not prohibited by law, who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry, and who have access to a compatible mobile device and a valid e-mail account prior to the beginning of the Contest Period. Sponsor has the right to verify the eligibility of each entrant.
You can enter the Contest by registering for an account within the App and submitting responses to all five (5) questions related to the Pick ‘Em Ticket Giveaway (the “Contest Entry”). The questions your Contest Entry must answer include your guess of the outcome of featured upcoming games (the “Featured Games of the Week”). and a guess as to which Featured Game of the Week will produce the most combined goals scored. The Featured Games of the Week and statistic will be selected by Sponsor Staff.
The Contest Period is the time during which submissions may be received. It begins each Tuesday or Wednesday during the regular season at such time when Sponsor posts the weekly Pick ‘Em competition within the USL mobile application (the “App”). It ends one hour prior to the first scheduled match that is a part of the Featured Games of the Week. Sponsor reserves the right to extend or shorten any or all Contest Periods in its sole discretion.
The winner will be chosen by the following process. At the outset, ineligible applicants will be disqualified. If no applicants select the correct outcomes, the winner will be decided by a random draw of eligible applicants. If multiple applicants select the correct outcomes, the winner will be the applicant who correctly chose the game that would be decided by the largest margin. If multiple applicants correctly choose the match decided by the largest margin, the winner will be decided by a random draw.
The winner will be notified on Monday of the week following submission of the Contest Entry, on or about 12:00 PM EST, each week during the regular season. Notification and instructions for collecting the prize will be sent to the e-mail address you supplied in the App registration process. Each entrant is responsible for monitoring his/her e-mail account for prize notification and receipt or other communications related to this Contest. If a potential prize winner cannot be reached by Sponsor within three (3) days using the contact information provided at the time of entry, or if the prize is returned as undeliverable, that potential prize winner shall forfeit the prize. Upon the request of the Sponsor, the potential winner may be required to return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release and Prize Acceptance Form, and IRS W-9 form. If a potential winner fails to comply with these official rules, that potential winner will be disqualified.
