6. Tournament Rules
6.1. The winner(s) is/are determined in accordance with the following rules. While We have attempted to cover every conceivable possibility, in the event of an occurrence that is not specifically covered by Our published rules, We will make the final decision using Our best judgment and discretion with respect to fairness and intent, and You agree that Our decision(s) shall be binding.
6.2. All prizes will be paid and/or valued in United States Dollars (USD).
6.3. This game is FREE to You and all players. No purchase is necessary to participate or win. Purchase does not increase your chances of winning. Odds of winning depend upon the number of participants. Void where prohibited.
6.4. Log on to the BeatMike.com and click on the "Play" icon.
6.5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
6.6. You may only enter one time per each Tournament. Individuals who play under multiple accounts for this game are not eligible to win prizes.
6.7. Once You are properly registered, You may log on, make your selection of the winning teams in the games scheduled to be played during the current Tournament.
6.8. You select Your choice of who will win each of the games shown on a published list of sports events on the official BeatMike.com Tournament website. For example, there may be 15 baseball or football games in a given Tournament. You will select the team that You predict will win each of the 15 listed games.
6.9. After You choose all the winners, You will also predict a "Total Score" for the Tournament. This is only used as a tie breaker when necessary to determine a winner as described below. The total score is the combined scores of both teams in all the games for the given Tournament - whether expressed as points, runs, goals, or other scoring criteria used in the particular event.
6.10. A tournament is defined as 15 games and a tie-breaker. The games may be played on more than one date, but the cut-off for making your picks will be before the beginning of the first game scheduled for the subject Tournament.
6.11. If a game ends in a tie, it will be considered a winning pick for all players, and the total score will be included in the tie breaker calculation for that Tournament.
6.12. If a game postponed or cancelled for any reason, resulting in the game not being completed and recorded as an "official game" on the scheduled date of the game, that game will be considered as "No Contest" and it will be recorded as a winning pick for all players. No score will be added to the total calculation of the tie-breaker score.
6.13. In the event there are two games played on the same day of a scheduled tournament (for example a doubleheader in baseball), the first game played in full on that date will be considered as the active Tournament game - even if it was a make up game from a previously scheduled game that was postponed. However, this does not apply if the first game is a continuation of a game that was suspended, and is being picked up from the point of suspension…it must be a complete game beginning and ending on the Tournament date.
6.14. Please note that any game left blank in any given Tournament will be automatically scored as an incorrect answer. If you don't complete the tie-breaker score and the tie-breaker becomes necessary to determine the winner, your tie-breaker will be calculated as being zero. To avoid this, You must pick a team for every game on the Tournament schedule and pick the tie-breaker score.
6.15. Each game in the tournament is sponsored, and You may have the option print a special offer / coupon from a sponsor, or visit a sponsor's website by clicking on the advertiser's website link. This is your choice; a response to a sponsor's offer does not affect your chances of winning.
7. Determination of Winners
7.1. The winner is determined by the player with the most correct winning predictions.
7.2. However, it is expected that there will be a number of players who will tie in picking the most winning teams. These players will be included as winners of the first cut.
7.3. Winners of the first cut will move into a second cut tie breaker round. For example, if the highest number of correct predictions is 14 out of 15 games, all players with 14 correct predictions will make the first cut and be entered into the second cut tie breaker.
7.4. The winner(s) of second cut tie breaker is/are determined by the player(s) who come(s) the closest to predicting the combined total of the scores of all of the games on that Tournament list. For example, if there are 15 games on the list, the combined total would be the total scores for all 15 of the games on that Tournaments list. If that total is 1728, the player(s) who come(s) the closest to 1728 would be declared that Tournament's winner(s)
7.5. In the event a tie still exists after the second cut, the prize money will be divided equally among the remaining winning players.
