SCORING AND WINNER NOTIFICATION: Entrants will submit Entries relating to certain Game(s), as instructed, and provided on the Platform and in these Rules. Entries will be scored based upon the number of correct answers in the Entries and correct answers to tie-breaker questions, if applicable. Each correct answer will earn the Entrant one (1) point. Throughout the Contest, a leaderboard will be updated to show the standings of all Contest Entrants. Upon the conclusion of the Contest, Entrants will be able to view their finishing position on the Contest leaderboard.

In the event of a roll-off being used to determine a winner in a match, the results of the roll-off will only be used to calculate any applicable questions relating to the margin of victory in the match. The number of strikes, splits, and/or missed spares thrown during the roll-off will not count towards the calculation of any question relating to the number of strikes, splits, or missed spares thrown in that match.

Winners (each a “Winner”; collectively, “Winners”) will be determined based on the scoring results of such Contest as set forth below, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. There will be 0 or more jackpot winners, five (5) first tier finishers and five (5) second tier finishers. The number of Winners for the JackPot Prize (as defined below) will vary depending upon how many entrants correctly answer all questions in their Entries. If no entrant answers all questions correctly, the JackPot Prize will not be awarded. In the event of multiple winners for the JackPot prize, the JackPot prize will be split amongst the winners. The five (5) first tier finishers will be selected based on the number of questions answered correctly in the Entries, and in the event of a tie, the answer to the final question will be used as a tiebreaker. The final question (predict the winning score in the championship match) refers to the winning score of the bowler who won the match. The Entrant with the answer closest to the correct answer will be deemed the winner of the tiebreaker. Should the initial tie result in any further ties, Contest questions will be used in reverse order (Question 9, question 8, question 7, etc.) until the tie is broken. The five (5) second tier finishers will be selected based on the number of questions answered correctly in the Entries after the selection of the first five (5) tier finishers, and in the event of a tie, the answer to the final question will be used as a tiebreaker. The final question (predict the winning score in the championship match) refers to the winning score of the bowler who won the match. The Entrant with the answer closest to the correct answer will be deemed the winner of the tiebreaker. Should the initial tie result in any further ties, Contest questions will be used in reverse order (Question 9, question 8, question 7, etc.) until the tie is broken.

On or about two (2) days after the end of the Entry Period, potential Winners will be notified through the Platform and/or email address submitted at the time of Entry. Contest results and Winners’ names and/or registered usernames may also be posted on the Platform. Sponsor may share potential Winners’ names and contact information with Contest Entities to the extent necessary for the fulfillment of the contest. Potential Winners may be required at any time to provide Sponsor with additional documentation and/or information to verify their identity and provide proof that all eligibility requirements have been met (collectively, “Eligibility Information”). Such Eligibility Information may include, without limitation, Winner’s date of birth, residential address, social security number, and an executed Form W-9. Potential Winners may also be required at any time to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability, and, except where prohibited, publicity release (collectively, “Contest Documents”). Eligibility Information and Contest Documents must be provided and/or returned and executed upon Sponsor’s request. Noncompliance may result in disqualification from the Contest(s) or forfeiture of Prize(s), at Sponsor’s sole discretion. If a potential Winner cannot be reached within a reasonable time period, is found to be ineligible, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, or if a Prize (as defined below) or prize notification is unclaimed or returned as undeliverable, including, but not limited to, if the Winner fails to claim their Prize within two (2) years from the date the Prize is awarded, such potential Winner may be disqualified from the Contest(s) and/or have Prize(s) forfeited.

Contest results and Winner determination will be based on the outcome, statistics, gameplay, and/or results of the Game as of the time when final scoring is tabulated by Sponsor. Contest results will not be changed in light of official statistics adjustments made by the PBA (as applicable), though Sponsor reserves the right to make adjustments to Contest results based on errors or irregularities in their calculation of results or in the transmission of information to Sponsor from the PBA or other third parties. The PBA is not responsible or liable for Contest scoring or results, or any decision of Sponsor in connection with such Contest scoring or results, including without limitation, changes to official Game statistics. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, also may make adjustments in the event of an entrant’s noncompliance with these Official Rules. Sponsor has no obligation to delay the awarding of any Prize(s) in anticipation of any adjustment, and Sponsor reserves the right to reverse the awarding of Prize(s) in the event of any adjustment. Entrants agree to be bound by any such adjustments and to cooperate with Sponsor’s reasonable efforts to award Prize(s). Decisions of Sponsor are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Contest in the Platform.
