Only the five (5) semi-finalist qualifiers selected and notified by sponsor will be eligible to participate.  All other entrants are ineligible.  Selected qualifiers must be present at the date, time and location as specified by sponsor for the chance to participate in the grand prize contest (scheduled for 12/30/14 at the Pine Belt Arena).

Grand Prize Contest – Finalist Selection (Total of 1 Finalist):  Each of the selected semi-finalist qualifiers who are present for the grand prize contest event will participate in a random drawing (through the use of basketballs or other Sponsor designated mechanism).  One of the semi-finalist qualifiers will then be determined as the official grand prize finalist.  Only the one (1) selected grand prize finalist, as solely determined and designated by the Contest Administrator, shall be eligible to participate in the grand prize basketball shot contest as outlined below.  All other semi-finalists are disqualified and ineligible to participate.

 

In order for a grand prize to be awarded, the designated finalist must first print and sign their full name on the official affidavit of eligibility prior to their attempt and then must successfully make the specified basketball shot (half-court shot), as required by these Official Rules.  The exact distance of the shot, and location of shot attempt will be disclosed to the finalist by the contest administrator immediately prior to their attempt.

 

Basketball Shot Attempt Requirements:  In order to claim the prize, the eligible finalist must successfully make the Basketball shot according to the following requirements:

  4. The finalist must use the standard MEN’S High School or NCAA basketball provided by Client/Sponsor.

  6. Once a shot is released, the ball may not come in contact with the playing surface or any part of the ceiling, and may not tip, bounce or deflect off of any surface, person or object (except the backboard or rim) prior to passing through the hoop.  The shot must meet all criteria as a regulation basket according to all high school rules.
