5. Selection and Notification of Winner: One (1) contestant who correctly guesses the Rangers’ first home run hitter of the game and spells the first and last name of the Rangers’ first home run hitter correctly for each Team home game during the Contest Period will be randomly selected as the potential winner.
Judging Criteria:
There will be a maximum of one (1) potential winner per Team home game. Winner will have had to select the correct Rangers’ first home run hitter of the game (and spell their first and last name correctly) AND if more than two (2) entries submit the correct Rangers first home run hitter of the game, a random drawing among all correct entries will be done to choose the winner. Odds of winning a prize depend on number of correct entries received.
Each potential winner will be notified via email or direct message following the conclusion of the Team home game. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sponsor may require each potential winner to sign and return, as specified by Sponsor, an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If (i) the attempted notification is returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address or the potential winner does not respond within 24 hours of being notified by Sponsor; (ii) any required documents are not returned as specified by Sponsor, such as the Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release; or (iii) if potential winner is otherwise unable to accept the prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and will be awarded to an alternate winner in accordance with the Judging Criteria.
