All references to time in these provisions are Eastern Standard Time. The Game is designed solely as a skill and knowledge-based, non-gambling promotional program ("Promotion") and is only intended for the entertainment and enjoyment of the participants.

From all eligible entries received, Winners will be identified according to the process set out in paragraph 4 below. Every participant's likelihood of winning is based solely on one's knowledge, ability and skill in evaluating and selecting winning race car drivers, assembling those drivers into teams to accumulate the most points in the Game during the 2010 racing season, and accurately predicting an average speed prediction during each Round of the Game. Participation in the Game is described, regulated and clarified by and wholly subject to the provisions of these official rules ("Official Rules").

 

2. ELIGIBILITY: The Game is open to individuals (only individuals may register and enter) legally residing, for purposes of all applicable state and federal tax laws, in one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia (excluding Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. and foreign territories and possessions) ("Eligibility Area"), who are 21 years of age or older at the start of the Game Period and have the ability to enter into valid contracts in their personal jurisdiction of residence.

Only individuals meeting all eligibility requirements and correctly registering for the Game as set out in paragraph 3 below may participate in the Game ("Players"). Each Player is required to indicate his/her acceptance to the Official Rules where indicated; provided, however, that any Player's participation in the Game constitutes and is deemed Player's agreement to the Official Rules and any and all decisions of Athlon and any third-party judges, which are final and binding in all respects.

During each Round of the twenty-six (26) Rounds of the Regular Season (tentatively scheduled as set out in the chart above), Player will be provided with a list of thirty (30) professional race car drivers ("Available Drivers"). The list of Available Drivers will be arranged in five (5) groups of six (6) Available Drivers each. Within each group, each Available Driver has been previously assigned, in ascending order, a number of points of between one (1) and six (6), based on that Available Driver's relative value, as against the value of the other five (5) Available Drivers in the same group ("Point Value"). Player will complete an entry for each Round of the Regular Season ("entry" or "entries") by: (i) selecting one (1) driver from each of the five (5) presented groups of Available Drivers ("Team"), in each case trying to select the driver that will earn the highest number of official points in that Round's upcoming Race. (a) One Available Driver must be selected from each of the five (5) groups; and, (b) Player's "Team Value Total" (defined as the sum of the Point Values of all Available Drivers in Player's Team in a single Round) must not exceed a cap of twenty-three (23) points; and, (ii) evaluating and predicting "Average Speed" for all drivers competing in the race in each Round and entering the Average Speed where indicated.

 

During each of the ten (10) Rounds of the Championship Challenge, Player will be provided with a list of (i) those eligible drivers qualifying for the Championship Challenge ("Chase Drivers"); and (ii) three (3) additional groups of six (6) drivers each ("Fill Drivers"). Each Chase Driver has been previously assigned a Point Value of between seven (7) and twelve (12), based on that Chase Driver's relative value, as against the value of the other Chase Drivers in the same group. Each Fill Driver has been previously assigned a Point Value of between one (1) and six (6), based on that Fill Driver's relative value, as against the value of the other five (5) Fill Drivers in the same group. Player will complete an entry for each Round of the Championship Challenge by: (i) selecting a "Championship Challenge Team" of five (5) drivers, in each case trying to select the drivers that will earn the highest number of official points in that Round's upcoming Race. Player's Championship Challenge Team: (a) must consist of two (2) drivers from the group of Chase Drivers and one (1) driver from each of the three (3) groups of Fill Drivers (Player may change Fill Drivers at any time prior to the Round Entry Deadline); and, (b) Player's Championship Team Value Total must not exceed a cap of thirty (30) points; and (ii) evaluating and predicting "Average Speed" for all drivers competing in the race in each Round and entering the Average Speed where indicated.

Entries for each Round must be submitted electronically no later than thirty (30) minutes prior to the official scheduled start time of each race for each Round ("Round Entry Deadline"). Entries containing a Team Value Total exceeding thirty (30) points will be disqualified. Disqualified entries may be revised and re-submitted at any time prior to the Round Entry Deadline. If a Player fails to submit an entry by the Round Entry Deadline, Player's Team for that Round will be automatically selected and will consist of the "Last 5 Out" drivers for that Round ("Auto-Pick"). As used herein, the "Last 5 Out" drivers are defined as "those specific drivers not assigned to any other selectable group and reflected in the Last Five Out chart as of the time immediately subsequent to the Round Entry Deadline, and who, on a scale of 1 through 35 (where 1 is the best and 35 is the worst), are rated 31 through 35 for the upcoming race." Each Player will be entitled to receive three (3) Auto-Pick Team during the Regular Season and one (1) additional Auto-Pick Team during the Championship Challenge.

Players may submit only one (1) entry for each Round. Additional entries from any individual, using different e-mail addresses or any other system of multiple entries, will be disqualified. Lost, late, illegible, incomplete or misdirected entries are not eligible. All Point Value assignments are made by Athlon in its sole discretion, independent of any third party advice, recommendation, or influence.

 

Determining Winners: During the Regular Season, Players will earn that number of points that are equal to the total number of points earned by and credited to all drivers on Player's Team in each Round, according to the official published results as of the end of the race, for each individual race in the Regular Season. During the Championship Challenge, Players will earn (i) that number of points that are equal to two (2) times the total number of points earned by and credited to all of Player's Chase Drivers on Player's Championship Challenge Team in each Round; and (ii) the total number of points earned by and credited to all of Player's Fill Drivers on Player's Championship Challenge Team in each Round. No points will be awarded for cancelled Rounds. Players who do not submit an entry for a particular Round will not be eligible to win prizes for that Round, regardless of whether Player was assigned an Auto-Pick Team.

The Grand Prize Winners are those Players earning the highest cumulative number of points for all Rounds as of the end of the final Round of the Game. The 1st through 6th place Round Winners are those Players with the highest descending cumulative number of overall points in the particular Round. Tie-Breaking Procedure: (i) In the event of a tie between Players at the end of the Game, the Winner will be that Player whose Average Speed Prediction is closest to the actual average speed of the race within the last Round in which Player submitted a valid entry ("Final Round"); (ii) In the event of a tie between Players at the end of any Round, the Winner will be that Player whose Average Speed Prediction is closest to the actual average speed of the race within the applicable Round; and, (iii) If Players remain tied after the Average Speed Prediction tie-breaking procedure (as would be the case with identical entries), the Winner will be that Player whose either Round entry or Final Round entry reflects the earliest time and date of e-mail submission, as reflected by the Athlon email database. Athlon reserves the right to award equal prizes to any tied Players as long as the sum total of all prizes awarded is equal to the approximate retail value ("ARV") of the prize designated for that prize.

It is the responsibility of Winner to make all necessary arrangements to redeem the prize, including any costs of travel, unless otherwise agreed by Athlon to deliver prize to Winner following identification of Winner and confirmation of eligibility. Any stated ARVs of prizes represent Athlon's good-faith determination of the retail value of the prize. All Winners will be initially identified, subject to eligibility, no later than on or about seven (7) business days following the date of the last race in the last Round ("Effective Date"), by Athlon or its agent, the judge of the Game, whose decisions are final and binding.

All prizes must be redeemed by each Winner no later than thirty (30) days following Athlon's confirmation of Notification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a Winner, the Winner will be the individual who was, at the time of entry, at Athlon's sole discretion, the documented registered holder of the email account used to enter the Game.

10. GENERAL INFORMATION: Athlon reserves the right to modify the Official Rules at any time for the purposes of clarifying and effectuating how the Game should be played, how the Game will be scored, how Winners are determined, how tie-breaking procedures are applied, how unanticipated ties are resolved, and what prizes will be awarded. Any changes to the Official Rules will be reasonably made with the intention of not materially affecting the terms and conditions of the Game. In the event of inadvertent computer or operator error, the illegal or inappropriate activity of any Player, the unanticipated application, failure or effect of Game mechanisms of play or individual components, software or hardware, or force majeure events affecting the schedule(s) of registration, Player entry, Round or entry deadlines, the determination or notification of Winners, the application of tie-breaking procedures, or the awarding of prizes, Athlon reserves the right to modify, revise, add-to, nullify or utilize only in part the stated timing, commencement or termination of any Round, entry or promotion period or schedule and/or, in its sole discretion, to implement substitute Rounds, entry or promotion periods or schedules, or portions thereof, solely for purposes of conducting the Game in a fair and reasonable manner and determining Winners on an equal basis and without unfairly disqualifying otherwise eligible Players from winning prizes.

Any and all lawsuits or other disputes that arise relating to the Game must be filed within one (1) year of the last day of the Promotion Period. The failure of Athlon to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
