3. How to Enter. The Contest will begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) on September 3, 2024 and end at 7:00 p.m. EST on December 10, 2024 (the “Contest Period”). Sponsor will be the official timekeeper for the Contest.

960 The Ref (the “Station”) will hold an on-air football trivia contest during the 960 The Ref morning show (the “Show”) once each Tuesday starting at 9:00 a.m. during the Contest Period.

Enter by listening to the Show on any Tuesday and listen for the three (3) trivia questions. When you hear the cue to call, call Sponsor’s Contest Line at 706-549-6000 (the “Contest Line”) to try to be first caller with all the correct answers to the day’s trivia questions. Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the first person calling Sponsor’s Contest Line and answering all the trivia questions correctly, as solely determined by Sponsor, will be designated a potential weekly winner (each, a “Weekly Winner”). The determinations of Sponsor and Contest operators will be final and binding in all respects. Up to one (1) Weekly Winner will be selected each week during the Contest Period, for a maximum total of thirteen (14) Weekly Winners. All eligible Weekly Winners will be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing (as described below).

To be declared a Weekly Winner: (a) you must be listening to the Station when the cue to call the Contest Line airs; (b) you must be declared by Sponsor to be the designated caller and provide the correct answers to all the trivia questions; and (c) you must comply with all other terms and conditions of these Official Rules and any other rules announced on air. Telephone calls will be taken by Contest’ operators in the order they are received, and the operators will count the number of calls received after each on-air Contest announcement to determine the designated caller. The determinations of Sponsor and Contest operators will be final and binding in all respects.

You may enter the Contest as often as you like but may only be selected as the Weekly Winner once. Enter as often as you like, provided that using automatic telephone dialing equipment or other software or computer-assisted dialing equipment is prohibited and will result in disqualification.

By participating in the Contest, you agree to be bound by Sponsor’s Visitor Agreement (www.960theref.com/visitor-agreement) and Privacy Policy (www.960theref.com/privacy-policy) and the terms and conditions governing the use of the App, as applicable, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Entry into the Contest shall be deemed consent to record any telephone conversation between a potential winner and Sponsor. Listeners accessing Sponsor’s radio station audio via IP connections like website-based streaming or mobile devices are welcome to enter. However, Sponsor cannot be responsible for delays in electronic transmission of station audio to IP devices. By entering the Contest, listeners acknowledge and agree to this specific provision of these Official Rules.

In addition, Sponsor will not be responsible for loss of service to a Contest Line or for a participant’s failure to reach a Contest Line due to malfunction of any network or system, congestion, any technical or human error, failures or malfunctions of any kind, including the congestion, overload, busy signals, or any other factor that may prevent an individual from completing his/her phone call. In the event of interruption of power or telephone service to Sponsor during call-in period of a Contest prior to accepting the correct caller, or a change in programming that results in Sponsor’s inability to air call-in opportunity, Sponsor will not replay the affected call-in opportunity and the number of prizes awarded in the Contest will be reduced accordingly. If the correct caller is ineligible or fails to comply with any term of condition of these Official Rules, that caller will be disqualified, and Sponsor will resume the call-in opportunity and declare the next caller a winner, pending verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.

In the event a caller gets disconnected for any reason before being declared a winner, Sponsor may resume the call-in opportunity affected and declare the next caller a winner, pending verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Sponsor will not be responsible for dropped calls from mobile devices or land lines and dropped calls may result in a potential winner’s disqualification and forfeiture of all interest in any prize. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons who submit false or misleading entry information or who Sponsor determines to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the Contest.

Any winning entrant must be the same person who originally sent the entry or dialed the phone to the radio station to participate in a Contest. No family members, friends, office associates, or any other person will be allowed to participate in a Contest on another person’s behalf. An entrant must provide his or her own name as listed on his or her valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia state-issued ID (or other proof of Georgia residency, such as a copy of a utility bill), subject to the Contest eligibility requirements. If a participant uses a false name on any ID submitted as proof of identification, he or she will be immediately disqualified from the Contest and be ineligible to win any prize.

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons who submit false or misleading entry information or who Sponsor determines to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the Contest. In the event of a dispute, an entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the account from which the entry was sent. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to a telephone number or other identifier automatically associated with the entry by a service provider that is responsible for assigning the same. The use of multiple identities and/or accounts is prohibited, and any attempt to obtain more than the stated number of entries will void that participant’s entries and may result in participant’s disqualification.

Sponsor will not be responsible for failure to receive entries due to transmission failures or technical failures of any kind, including, without limitation, malfunctioning of any network, hardware or software, whether originating with sender, Sponsor, or Sponsor’s Contest application service provider. In the event of a dispute, all online entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the ISP account from which they were sent, provided that such person satisfies all other Contest eligibility requirements. For these purposes, an ISP account holder shall mean the natural person assigned to such ISP account by the Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning ISP addresses for the domain associated with such ISP account.

All entries become property of Sponsor and none will be returned.
