Prize substitution due to COVID-19 travel prohibitions
In the event that provincial, state or federal laws, regulations, or orders in either Canada or the United States enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic operate to prohibit the First Place Winner (as defined herein) from travelling to the 2024 NFL Pro Bowl Orlando, or if the 2024 NFL Pro Bowl Orlando is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gateway reserves the right to substitute the First Place Prize with a trip to Orlando in the 2024/25 season to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL game of choice of the First Place Winner, or to substitute for cash value, at Gateway’s sole discretion.
How to Enter the Promotion:
• During the Entry Period, Qualified Entrants may enter the Promotion by completing an online registration form at myclubeatanddrink.com or gatewayfootball.ca; • Each week, Qualified Entrants will pick the winner of each of the NFL games scheduled that week (with no point spread used) using the online form; • Valid picks must be made at least 10 minutes prior to the kickoff of each NFL game. The online form records the time each pick is made. Picks made later than 10 minutes before the start of each game, as automatically recorded in the online form, are invalid. No points will be awarded for invalid picks; and • Qualified Entrants will be awarded one (1) point for each game in which the participant has picked the winner, or in the event of a tied game.
Weekly Prize Awards:
Gateway will award Weekly Prizes after the last game of each week during the Entry Period (exact time to be determined) to the three (3) Qualified Entrants who earned the most points during such week (each, a “Weekly Prize Winner”). Each Qualified Entrant shall first have their picks verified and audited using Gateway’s PlayerIQ system to ensure the Qualified Entrants made legitimate picks prior to the kickoff of each game. The Weekly Prize Winners will be notified by phone/email, using the contact information provided by the Qualified Entrant. Gateway’s determination of the Weekly Prize Winners is final. The odds of a Qualified Entrant winning a Weekly Prize will depend on the total number of legitimate picks received each week of the Entry Period.
WEEKLY PRIZE TIE BREAKER RULE: In the event of a tie between Qualified Entrants, the difference between the tied Qualified Entrants’ guesses on the total score on the last game in a week and the actual total score of the last game that week (regardless of whether the guess is over or below the actual total) will be summed weekly, and the Qualified Entrant with the lowest difference (i.e., the Qualified Entrant whose guess is closest to the actual total score) for the last game that week will be the Weekly Prize Winner. In the event of multiple Weekly Prize Winners after the application of the Weekly Prize Tie Breaker Rule, the cash value of the Weekly Prize will be divided equally between the tied Qualified Entrants.
Grand Prize Awards:
Within 72 hours of the last game of the NFL regular season (date and time to be determined), a first (the “First Place Winner”), second (the “Second Place Winner”) and third place winner (the “Third Place Winner”, and together with the First Place Winner and the Second Place Winner, the “Grand Prize Winners” and each, a “Grand Prize Winner”) will be chosen by selecting the Qualified Entrants with the first, second and third highest cumulative amount of points earned throughout the season. Each Qualified Entrant shall first have their picks verified and audited using Gateway’s PlayerIQ system to ensure the Qualified Entrants made legitimate picks 10 minutes prior to the kick off of each NFL game. The top three point winners will be notified by phone/email using the contact information provided by the Qualified Entrant. The odds of a Qualified Entrant winning a Grand Prize will depend on the total number of legitimate picks received during the Entry Period. The First Place Winner shall receive a trip for the First Place Winner and a guest to the 2024 Pro Bowl Orlando, valued at approximately CAD $10,000 . The Second Place Winner shall receive one NFL Gift Pack valued at approximately CAD $1,500. The Third Place Winner shall receive one NFL Gift Pack valued at approximately CAD $500.00. Gateway’s determination of the Grand Prize Winners is final.
GRAND PRIZE TIE BREAKER RULE: In the event of a first place tie between Qualified Entrants, the difference between a Qualified Entrant’s guess of the total score of the last game of a week and the actual total score of the last game of that week (regardless of whether the guess is over or below the actual total) will be summed weekly for the entire season, and the Qualified Entrant with the lowest aggregate weekly difference (i.e., the Qualified Entrant whose guess is closest to the actual total score of all of the last games of each week for the entire season) will be the First Place Winner, with the other Qualified Entrant being the Second Place Winner. The same rule will apply to a second place tie if necessary. In the event of multiple winners for the first, second or third place, after the application of the Grand Prize Tie Breaker Rule, the cash value of the Grand Prize for such first, second or third place will be equally divided between all eligible winners.
The Grand Prize must be accepted as awarded and cannot be substituted, transferred, exchanged or surrendered for cash, except at the sole and absolute discretion of Gateway, which reserves the right for any reason to award or substitute the Grand Prize, or part thereof, of equal or greater value, including without limitation, a cash award.
The First Place Winner and their guest irrevocably waive all claims against the NFL Entities, and agree that the NFL Entities will have no liability or responsibility for any claim arising in connection with their participation in this Promotion, the prizes awarded, personal injury, or wrongful death, a potentially heightened risk of exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, bacteria or illnesses (including, without limitation, COVID-19) and the causes thereof, and sickness arising as a result of participant’s participating in the Promotion and related activities (e.g., travel), wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. The First Place Winner and their guest fully understand that (a) COVID-19 and any resulting disease is extremely contagious and there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any place where people are or have been present; (b) no precautions, including any protocols that will be implemented from time to time by any NFL Entity (collectively, the “Protocols”), can eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19; (c) while people of all ages and health conditions have been adversely affected by COVID-19, certain people have been identified by public health authorities as having greater risk based on age and/or underlying medical conditions; and (d) exposure to COVID-19 can result in being subject to quarantine requirements, illness, disability, other short-term and long-term health effects, and/or death, regardless of age or health condition.
Resale of game tickets is strictly prohibited. All NFL tickets are subject to certain terms and conditions as specified thereon. Grand Prize Winners and their guest must abide by all venue policies and regulations, including without limitation all health and safety protocols, and ticket terms and conditions at all times. Gateway reserves the right to revoke the full or partial Grand Prize from any winner or guest who the Gateway, venue personnel or the NFL Entities deem in any of their sole discretion, may be intoxicated, be a safety risk, have violated any venue or NFL policy or law, fail to comply with the NFL’s (or its designee’s) health and safety protocols, or bring the NFL Entities into disrepute. For the avoidance of doubt, unused tickets cannot be refunded, exchanged or applied towards tickets for any subsequent NFL event or for cash.
