Individuals
who do not have current access to the internet or a valid email address to complete
an eligible on-line registration to participate.
Online Entry: During the Registration Period, visit www.canesunderdogchallenge.com
(the "Website") and follow the
on-line instructions to complete the registration page. Each Entrant must fully
complete the registration page with all required information including first
and last name, state of residence, valid email
address, and phone number (including area

After having read and agreed to
these Official Rules, click the ‘Enter’ button to submit your on-line
registration (“Entry”). All registration information must be fully complete for
all required registration fields. Any registration submitted with an invalid
email address will be disqualified. Maximum of one Entry per person and per
valid email address during the entire Registration Period. Registering more than one time during the
entire Registration Period (by using the same or alternate names or email addresses) will
invalidate all Entries by that Entrant.
By participating and submitting an Entry, Entrant
agrees that Sponsor and Administrator are authorized to contact Entrant via
email, mail, phone or any other form of media to make Entrant
aware of information pertinent to the Sweepstakes, and to distribute information regarding the Sponsor(s) featured
products, special events or promotional offers, or purchase incentives. Entrants
may opt-out of any further email communication at any time by clicking on unsubscribe

error or failure, human or programming error, unauthorized human intervention,

any such information or effects of hackers or failure of any electronic
equipment, computer transmissions and/or network connections; all of which will

and all such entries will be deemed void. In the event of a dispute as to any
on-line registration, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used
to register and enter will be deemed to be the registrant and he/she must be eligible
to participate in the Sweepstakes according to these Official Rules. The

an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization
responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the

will not be returned.
Determination of Number of Winners
At the conclusion
of each of the six (6) scheduled rounds of the 2023 Men’s College Basketball Tournament (the ”Tournament”), Administrator
shall determine how many times in the corresponding round a lower seed team beats a higher seed team in
the Tournament (each occurrence an ”Upset”). For clarity purposes, the definition
an Upset for this Sweepstakes is as follows:
There will be no opportunity
for an Upset to occur in the event the two (2) teams playing against each other
are ranked with identical seeds on the Tournament bracket. For example, if a team ranked as a two (2) seed on the Tournament bracket is playing another
team ranked as a two (2) seed on the Tournament bracket, regardless of the outcome
the game will not result in being designated as an Upset in this Sweepstakes. In the event any game is forfeited,
postponed, suspended, rescheduled, cancelled or not completed as a full
regulation game, whereby neither team is declared a winner (i.e.
both teams are eliminated, and the team in the next round of the Tournament scheduled
to play the ‘winner’ receives a bye), that game will not result in being designated
as an Upset. In the event the seeding
changes for any reason during the Tournament (i.e.
a team ranked as a 6 seed on the Tournament bracket prior to the start of the Tournament
is changed to a 7 seed on the Tournament bracket after the Tournament begins),
this Sweepstakes will adhere to the actual seed of each team at the time of the
designated game in the Tournament.
The number of available prizes in this Sweepstakes will be based
on the number of Upsets in the Tournament and the round in which an Upset
occurs as follows:
|
Round of Tournament |
Scheduled Dates |
Maximum Number |
Number of Available |

Effect of Forfeit/Postponed/Suspended/Rescheduled/Cancelled/Incomplete
Game(s):
In the event the
Tournament is impacted by any scheduled game being forfeited, postponed,
suspended, rescheduled, cancelled or not completed as a full regulation game;
but where one team is declared the ‘winner’ by Tournament officials and
advances in the bracket, and one team is declared the ‘losing team’ by
tournament officials and is eliminated from the bracket, such designated
winning team shall be considered as the winner for that scheduled game for the
purposes of this Sweepstakes.
Any occurrence of
a forfeit, postponement, suspension, reschedule, cancellation or incomplete
game that has a cascading impact upon the remaining Tournament schedule or
structure, whereby Sponsor is unable to determine which round an Upset occurred
in, or any future scheduled game would be further impacted and unable to be played
as originally scheduled, or if the Tournament structure or originally scheduled
teams are adjusted, substituted or modified by the tournament officials, Sponsor
reserves the right to modify or terminate this Sweepstakes and award less than the
number of scheduled prizes.
Selection
of Winners
Administrator shall conduct six (6) random
drawings from among all eligible Entries received up to or during the corresponding Entry
Period to determine potential winners in the Sweepstakes (each, a “Prize Winner
” and collectively, the “Prize Winners” ).
Each drawing will be conducted from all Entries received up to and
including the current Entry Period. Only non-winning Entries will ‘roll over’ to
subsequent drawings, if any.

Administrator in the selection and determination of all Prize Winners and all
matters relating to this Sweepstakes are final and binding.

email with the delivery of their prize (each a “Prize” and collectively “Prizes”)
within seven (7) days of the random drawing. Notification will be to email
address submitted at time of Entry. Sponsor and Administrator are not
responsible for any failure of attempted delivery of notice using the above
referenced notification method. If any Prize
notification or Prize is returned as undeliverable for any reason, Sponsor may
decide, in its sole discretion, to award such Prize to an alternate eligible
Entrant or if time does not permit (in Sponsor’s opinion) to not award such Prize. Failure to collect or properly claim the Prize in accordance with these Official
Rules will result in forfeiture of the Prize. If forfeited for any reason, Winner
will not receive any other Prize substitution or compensation, and the Prize will
remain the property of Sponsor and will not be awarded, except as provided
herein.
