where otherwise void, prohibited or restricted by law) ("Eligibility
Area") who are 18 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 eligible individuals may enter

otherwise taxed, prohibited or restricted. Employees and directors of Athlon
Sports Communications, Inc. (“Athlon” or “Sponsor”) and its affiliates,
subsidiaries, franchisees, dealers, advertising and promotional agencies,
officers, directors, employees, and agents, their immediate families (defined as spouse, child, sibling, parent or grandparent),
and those living in their same households are ineligible to play the Game or
win or collect prizes. Participation by any Player constitutes his/her
acceptance and agreement to these Official Rules and to the decisions of
Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects. Players agree to waive any
right to claim ambiguity in the Game and/or these Official Rules.
3. HOW
TO ENTER: Beginning 12:00:01 AM Eastern Time on August 11th, 2008 and
throughout the Game Period, Players will log on to www.athlonsports.com/gameon (“Site”) and follow
the instructions to complete the entry form, including Player’s name, e-mail
address, physical address, and telephone number. Each Player will create a user
name and password for subsequent visits to the Site and may be asked to answer
survey questions or consent to receive promotional e-mails. Consenting to
receive promotional e-mails is optional and refusal to consent will not render
any Player ineligible to play the Game or win prizes or affect or reduce any
Player’s chances of winning. Following registration, Players will, by following
the instructions, try to select the winning teams of each football game
of each Round, predict the actual score
of the “Bonus” Game ("entry" or "entries"), and submit
his/her entry. Players must submit their entries
electronically no later than fifteen (15) minutes prior to the official scheduled
start time (Eastern Time Zone) of each game of each Round (“Entry Deadline”).
Late entries will be disqualified. In order for any entry to be valid, Players
must indicate their acceptance of the Official Rules. Player data will be used
to administer the Game, contact Players and Winners. Players may receive
Game-related e-mails, which each Player may opt out of at any time. All data is
proprietary to Athlon and Sponsor and will not be used for third party
solicitations. Lost, late, illegible, incomplete or misdirected entries are not
eligible. Athlon Sports is not responsible for any problems or technical
malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer systems, servers,
access providers, equipment, or software, failure of any e-mail or entry to be
received for any reason, traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website,
or any other technical problems related to website entries or any combination
of the foregoing, including any injury or damage to a Player's or any other
person's computer. In the case of multiple entries, the Player’s last entry
received will be deemed the Player’s official entry for purposes of winning
prizes.
4. HOW TO PLAY and ACCRUE POINTS: During each Round of the Game, Players will go to the appropriate page on the Site
listing that Round’s group of football games and must predict the winning team
of each game. Players receive 100 points for each team that they correctly
predict as the winner of each game (“Winning Team”). Players can also earn
Bonus Points each Round by predicting the actual score of the Bonus game. If a
Player predicts the correct Winning Team of the Bonus Game, the Player receives
Bonus Points equal to 100 points less
the Point Difference (the number of points between
the Player’s predicted score for both the winning and losing teams of the
Bonus Game and the actual score for both the winning and losing teams of the
Bonus Game). Round Winners are those Players with the highest descending number
of overall points in the particular Round. The Grand Prize Winner is that
Player with the highest number of overall points for the entire Game. In the
case of a tie between potential Round Winners or Grand Prize Winners, the
Winner will be that Player submitting the winning entry at the earliest time, based on the actual
documented time of the e-mail transmission. If a Player who has previously participated
in a Round or Rounds fails to make picks by the Round Entry Deadline, that
Player will be assigned an “automatic prediction” for that Round identifying
the visiting team as the winning team
for each of that Round’s scheduled games with the exception of Bonus Games.
Players will be assigned and receive points for an “automatic prediction” for a
maximum of three (3) Rounds. Players may cancel their participation in
the Game by sending an email to expertsclub@athlonsports.com,
requesting that he/she be removed and all of Player’s points will be forfeited.
5. ODDS
OF WINNING: This Game is a game of
skill and a Player’s chances of winning depends on his/her skill and ability to
pick winning teams and accrue more points than other Players in the Game and his/her ability to accurately
predict final scores. The odds of winning any prize depends upon the Player’s
selections and the total number of Players and eligible entries received.
