6    HOW A COMPETITION WILL BE JUDGED

6.1    The Promoter will appoint a panel of judges (a “Panel”) to determine which pixel in the photograph the Panel considers to be the most likely position for the centre of the ball (the “Panel Pixel”).  The Panel may choose the Panel Pixel before or after the Closing Date.  If the Panel selects the Panel Pixel before the Closing Date, the details of the Panel Pixel will be encrypted and stored securely on the Promoter’s database.  If the Panel Pixel has not been selected before the Closing Date, the Panel will select the Panel Pixel within 5 days of the Closing Date.  The decision of the Panel is final and binding and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into regarding their decision.

6.2    Within 5 days of the Closing Date, the location of the Panel Pixel will be compared against each Entry, to calculate the distance of the chosen pixel of each Entry from the Panel Pixel. 

6.3    The winner of the Main Prize (the “Main Prize Winner”), will be the Participant whose Entry included the same pixel as the Panel Pixel, or if no Participant’s Entry included the Panel Pixel, the Entry which the Promoter determines to be closest to the Panel Pixel.  The Promoter’s decision shall be final and binding and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into regarding such decision.

6.4    A “Tie-Break” will occur where there are two or more Entries which are equidistant from the Panel Pixel and such Entries are the Entries which are closest to the Panel Pixel (each referred to as a “Tie-Break Entry”).  In the event of a Tie-Break:

6.4.1    the Participant who submitted the first Tie-Break Entry will win the Main Prize;

6.4.2    the Participant who submitted the second Tie-Break Entry will win £500;

6.4.3    any Participant who submitted any Tie-Break Entry after the second Tie-Break Entry will be awarded 25 free entries to a future Competition.

6.5    Any Participant awarded a Prize in accordance with 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 shall be referred to as a “Runner Up”.  Any Prize awarded in accordance with 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 shall be referred to as a “Runner Up Prize”.

6.6    The Promoter will send the full names of the persons on a Panel, to anyone who writes to the Promoter at the address set out above at 2.1, within 30 days of the Closing Date of the respective Competition, requesting details of the Panel and who encloses a self-addressed envelope.

7    PRIZES

7.1    Subject to 7.2, the Main Prize in a Competition will be the watch specified on the respective Competition Page. 

7.2    At the discretion of the Promoter, the watch specified on the respective Competition Page may be substituted with a watch or cash amount – which will then constitute the Main Prize.

7.3    A Runner-Up Prize, as detailed above at 6.4.2 or 6.4.3, will only be awarded if there is a Tie-Break.

7.4    A Prize does not include any tax or duty which may be payable by a Winner to receive a Prize or which may become payable on receipt of a Prize. Any costs, including insurance, incurred that are incidental to the fulfilment of the Prize are the responsibility of a Winner.

7.5    A Prize is not negotiable or transferable.

8    AWARDING A PRIZE 

8.1    The Promoter will attempt to contact a Winner personally as soon as practicable after the Winning Pixel has been selected, using the telephone number or email address provided by such Participant as part of their registration for an account on the Service or Entry.

8.2    If a Winner cannot be contacted within a period of 14 days of the Closing Date (which period may be extended at the election of the Promoter), or a Winner is disqualified as a result of breaching these terms and conditions, that Winner will forfeit the Prize and it will be awarded to the Participant with the Entry that contains the next closest pixel to the Panel Pixel.  If a Prize has been forfeited, the original Winner will have no further claim against the Promoter.

8.3    Before a Prize will be delivered/transferred, a Winner will be required to provide a valid Photo ID to the Promoter to confirm their age and identity and a Winner will be required to prove they were validly permitted to use the payment method used to purchase an Entry.  Should a Participant not complete these obligations, the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify the Participant’s Entry and choose an alternate winner.

8.4    Subject to compliance with 8.2 and 8.3 above, a Prize will be delivered to a Winner within 14 days from the date the Winner provided any required documents in accordance with clause 8.3.

9.5    The Promoter shall use reasonable endeavours to award the Prize to the correct Participant.

9.6    The Promoter reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to close a Competition early without selecting a Winner.
