The contest involves picking the winning teams of selected games during each week of the pro football regular season’s Sunday and Monday games (maximum 16 games during any one (1) week). Weekly winner(s) will be the contestant(s) with the highest number of winning selections. The contest runs from week #1 of the 2010 regular season through week #17 of the 2010 regular season.
For contest purposes, there are no point spreads on any of the football games. Point spreads presented on the kiosk are informational only. The team winning the game is the winning selection. In the case of a tie, either team selected will count as a win. If a game that is initially part of the contest at the time the promotion begins each week is subsequently postponed until a date beyond the following Monday, then both sides of that game will count as a win.
A total of $30,000 will be awarded each week to the contestant(s) with the highest number of winning selections. In the case of a tie between 2 or 3 people, the $30,000 will be divided equally. In the case of a tie between 4 or more contestants:
1. $10,000 will be awarded to one person under the tie-breaker rules in b. and c. below, and the remainder will be divided equally between the remaining winners.
2. The first tie-breaker for the $10,000 prize: The contestant who comes closest to picking the combined score on that weekend’s Monday Night Football Game (Sunday night game – 17th week) will be the winner of the $10,000 prize.
3. The second tie-breaker for the $10,000 prize: If the first tie-breaker does not determine the winner of the $10,000 prize, the contestant with the earliest electronic time stamp that is generated by the kiosk for that week’s contest will be the winner of the $10,000 prize.
