(4) RUGC Opportunity Prize (approximate retail value: $1 CAD)
The “RUGC Opportunity Prize” is the opportunity to join the Raptors Uprising Gaming Club professional esports team and to participate in team practice days, content shoot days, and certain games and potentially playoffs in the NBA 2K League, subject to the successful negotiation and execution of an esports athlete services agreement with MLSE.
If the Winner successfully enters into a contract with MLSE to join the Raptors Uprising Gaming Club, and fulfills their obligations under the contract, they shall be compensated with $1,500 CAD for their services under the contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and may be eligible to receive additional bonuses from the NBA 2K League depending on their performance in tournaments and games (up to a maximum of $8,500 CAD).
The RUGC Opportunity Prize is not a guaranteed component of the Prize. The RUGC Opportunity Prize is expressly conditional upon the Winner successfully negotiating and entering into an esports athlete services agreement with MLSE to join the Raptors Uprising Gaming Club team, and the Winner fulfilling all of their obligations under that agreement. If the Winner fails to execute the esports athlete services agreement by the timeframe specified by MLSE, they shall be deemed to have forfeited the RUGC Opportunity Prize and shall not, under any circumstances, be entitled to any compensation for or substitution of the RUGC Opportunity Prize.
The Winner may decline or forfeit the RUGC Opportunity Prize and still accept the other components of the Prize. The Winner shall not be entitled to any compensation for or substitution of the declined or forfeited RUGC Opportunity Prize.
A Winner is not entitled to any difference between the actual value of the Prize and the approximate retail value stated herein. Each Winner must follow all directions of the Contest Sponsors with respect to the Prize or any aspect thereof. Failure to do so may result in termination of participation, or continued participation, in the Prize or any aspect thereof. Each Prize must be accepted as awarded without substitution and is not transferrable, refundable, for resale, or convertible to cash. The Contest Sponsors reserve the right, in the event that a Prize, or any component of a Prize, cannot be awarded as described for any reason, to substitute the same for another prize or component of equal or greater value, without notice or liability. In the event that a substitute prize is awarded, such prize must be accepted as awarded and cannot be exchanged for cash or otherwise. All incidental costs and expenses associated with a Prize that are not specifically referred to herein are not included and are the sole responsibility of each Winner.
The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of entries received.
(5) WINNER SELECTION:
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on the next business day following the end of the Contest Period, one (1) Entrant will be selected (each, a “Selected Entrant”) by random draw to be eligible to win the Prize. The random draw will take place at the head office of MLSE.
Each Selected Entrant for a Prize will be notified of their selection by the contact information provided in the App. If a Selected Entrant cannot be contacted or fails to respond within forty-eight (48) hours of the first attempt of contact by the Contest Sponsors, they will be considered to have forfeited their Prize and will be disqualified and another Entrant may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with a Selected Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first (in which case the above-noted process will apply to such alternate Entrant). The Contest Sponsors will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact any Selected Entrant.
(6) CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE
To be declared a winner (“Winner”), each Selected Entrant must answer correctly, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question posed either by telephone or email. The Selected Entrant will be required to sign a Declaration, Release and Waiver Form (the “Release Form”) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Released Parties from any liability in connection with the Prize or the Contest. The Selected Entrant must also sign an esports athlete services agreement with MLSE specifically in order to accept the RUGC Opportunity Prize and join Raptors Uprising Gaming Club.
If a Selected Entrant does not meet all of the Contest requirements, fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, or does not sign and return the Release Form to the Contest Sponsors within the timeframe specified, that Selected Entrant will forfeit the entirety of the Prize and the Contest Sponsors shall be entitled (but not obligated) to select another Entrant from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with an Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first. This process may continue until the Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of the Prize (in which case the above-noted process will apply to such alternate Entrant).
If the Selected Entrant meets the Contest requirements, answers the mathematical skill-testing question correctly, and signs and returns the Release Form to the Contest Sponsors, but declines the RUGC Opportunity Prize by failing to enter into an esports athlete services agreement with MLSE within the timeframe specified by MLSE, then the Selected Entrant shall receive the other components of the Prize in accordance with these Official Rules but shall forfeit the RUGC Opportunity Prize and shall not be entitled to any compensation for or substitution of the RUGC Opportunity Prize. In the event that the Selected Entrant declines the RUGC Opportunity Prize, the Contest Sponsors shall not select another Entrant to receive the RUGC Opportunity Prize.
The Contest Sponsors are not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact any Selected Entrant. The Contest Sponsors will contact the Winner following receipt of their signed Release Form to arrange for delivery of the components of the Prize, as applicable.
