All entries must be received by the end of the Sweepstakes Period to be eligible for judging. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, an online entry is “received” when the Sweepstakes Website’s servers record the entry information. Proof of sending (such as an automated computer receipt confirming entry or “thanks for entering” message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes. The database clock of Sponsor’s Sweepstakes Website will be the official time keeper for the Sweepstakes. Those who do not follow all of the instructions, provide the required information in their entry form, or abide by these Official Rules or other instructions of Sponsor may be disqualified at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. All entries that are late, illegible, incomplete, damaged, destroyed, forged or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Entries generated by script, macro or other automated means and entries by any means which subvert the entry process are void. All entries become the physical property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.
In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any Entrant who submits an entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the holder of the e-mail account from which it was sent but only if such person is otherwise eligible. The “account holder” is the person assigned an e-mail address or service by the organization responsible for assigning addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Entrants may be required to show proof of being the registered account holder. If a dispute cannot be resolved to the Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Sponsor and affiliated entities are not responsible for lost, misdirected, misplaced, stolen, tampered with, deleted, or invalid entries. Assurance of delivery of entries is the sole responsibility of the Entrant.
Representations and Warranties. Each Entrant represents and warrants that he or she has read, understands and will follow the Official Rules. Each Entrant further represents and warrants that he or she has the right to agree to and fully perform consistent with these Official Rules and the consent of no third parties are required to grant the rights hereunder. Entrant further acknowledges and agrees that he/she has not previously granted, assigned or otherwise hypothecated his/her submission to any other third party. Further, each Entrant represents and warrants that Sponsor’s use of any submission shall not violate an agreement to which such Entrant has signed.
Indemnity. Entrants agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against all the liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by such Entrant in connection with his or her acceptance of these Official Rules or Sweepstakes activities.
Determining the Winner. Five (5) Entrants will be selected as the Winners. Any Entrant selected as Winner shall be referred to as a Potential Winner until such time as it can be verified by the Sponsor or its designee that the Potential Winner has complied with these Official Rules and met the terms and conditions set forth herein. Once verified, the Potential Winner shall be declared the Winner. Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received.
Winner Notification. Each Potential Winner will be notified by mail and/or e-mail (as selected by Sponsor) on or about January 20, 2022, unless extended by Sponsor. The Sponsor is not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information.

If such documents are not returned within the specified time period, a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, Sponsor is unable to contact a Potential Winner or a Potential Winner is not in compliance with these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate winner selected. Non-compliance shall result in disqualification and award of the prize to an alternate winner at Sponsor’s discretion. If any Potential Winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules, or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected at Sponsor’s discretion. The Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the Potential Winner.

No compensation will be paid in lieu of the cancelled event. The tickets to the event are subject in all respect to the terms and conditions set forth on the tickets and any requirements of the facility hosting the event.
