All entries submitted become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. Entrant must provide all information requested. Incomplete, unreadable or unintelligible submissions will be disqualified.

Participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes Entrant’s understanding of, full and unconditional agreement to, and acceptance of these Official Rules. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Entrant that Sponsor determines to be in violation of any term contained in these Official Rules. Sponsor's decision not to enforce a specific provision of these Official Rules does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of the Official Rules generally.

Each Entrant must be the rightful owner (or have authorized use) of the email address identified in the Entrant's entry.

Employees, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of Sponsor, Administrator, ESPN, Inc., The SEC-ESPN Network, (collectively, "Sweepstakes Entities"), and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, agents, representatives and promotion and advertising agencies are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes.

Potential prize winner will be selected in a random drawing conducted by the Administrator from all eligible entries submitted during the two entry periods per the schedule in Rule 1. Potential winner will be selected on or about November 24, 2014. Winner will be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and prize/publicity release within two (2) business days. Guest must also sign a travel release and other legal documents as may be required by Sponsor in its sole discretion. If any guest is a minor as defined by state of primary residence (“Minor”), he or she must be accompanied by his or her parent/legal guardian (“Parent”) and such person must be the Winner or a guest as applicable. Sweepstakes submissions are subject to validation by the Administrator. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the required documents and IRS Form W-9 or provide any other requested information within the required time period, the potential winner forfeits his/her prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. By taking part in this Sweepstakes you agree to be bound by these rules and all decisions of the Administrator and Sponsor which are final and binding on all aspects of the Sweepstakes.
