BEST OF THE BEST PLC - STANDARD COMPETITION TERMS
- Qualifying Persons: Our Competitions - skill based games resulting in the allocation of prizes - (the ‘Competition(s)’) are open to all persons aged 16 and over except Best of the Best Plc's (the 'Promoter') employees or members of their immediate family, agents or any other person who is connected with the creation or administration of our Competitions.
- Legal Undertaking: By entering a Competition the entrant will be deemed to have read and understood these rules and to be bound by them and by any other requirements set out in any related promotional material. Competitions are governed by English Law and any matters relating to the Competition will be resolved under English Law and the Courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction. In the event of playing a Competition online, by accepting these terms and conditions you confirm that you are not breaching any laws in your country of residence regarding the legality of entering our Competitions. The Promoter will not be held responsible for any entrant entering any of our Competitions unlawfully. If in any doubt you should immediately leave the website and check with the relevant authorities in your country.
- Competition Entry: Competitions may be entered at our airport sites or online. Availability and pricing of Competitions is at the discretion of the Promoter:
- a) To enter a Competition at the airport, you will need to purchase Competition entries ('Tickets') through a member of staff at a stand operated by the Promoter. Using all the information shown in the sporting photograph displayed on the computer screen (from which the original ball has been permanently erased), use your skill and Judgement to correctly identify the grid square within which you consider the Judge will decide, is the most likely position of the centre of the ball. Click on the screen to mark this spot (you can see your spot's coordinates on the screen). The computer will register this spot as your entry into the Competition. You may repeat this process for as many entries as you wish to make. Then you will provide the operator on the stand with your contact details and the appropriate payment. You will be given a receipt with your personal details and Ticket entries. You will need to check your details carefully and sign the declaration, confirming you have read and understood the Competition rules.
- b) When playing a Competition online or at an airport self-service kiosk, follow the on-screen instructions and play the Competition as outlined in (3a). When you are ready to purchase your Ticket(s), follow the on-screen instructions to provide your contact details and your credit card details. You will need to check your details carefully and tick the declaration, confirming you have read and understood the Competition rules. When your credit card payment has cleared we will then contact you by email to confirm your entry into the Competition (in the case of Instant Win Competitions, we will also provide you with instantaneous feedback). Please note that when entering online you will not be deemed entered into the Competition until we confirm your Ticket order back to you by email.
- Gift Vouchers: To pay for your Ticket(s) using a Gift Voucher, please follow the playing instructions outlined in (3b). To make payment, enter the code supplied on your Gift Voucher at the checkout stage. Your entry into the Competition will be confirmed when the Gift Voucher code is authorised. Please note that Competition entries can only be purchased up to and including the value of the Gift Voucher. No refund for the Gift Voucher will be provided by the Promoter. If you wish to purchase Tickets that have a greater value than that of the Gift Voucher, it is possible to pay for the remainder on your credit card. Please note, if you are using a Gift Voucher as payment when playing the Competition online, you will not be deemed entered into the Competition until we confirm your Ticket order back to you by email.
- Competition Judgement
- a) Time Limited Supercar Competitions: Time Limited Supercar Competitions: Time Limited and Sportscar Competitions will close on the date specified. The position of the centre of the ball will normally be determined after the close of the competition by an independent Judge (a sporting expert appointed by the Promoter – the 'Judge') using his sporting experience and in the presence of a qualified lawyer and a representative from the Promoter. In certain cases and at the discretion of the Promoter, the position of the centre of the ball may be determined before the Competition starts, and will immediately be encrypted and stored securely on our database. The Judge's chosen position will then be computed against the database of coordinates to mathematically calculate which of the Competition entrants is closest to the Judge's position, and therefore the winning entrant (the 'Winner') of the prize. The Winner will be the person who correctly identifies, or if no one is correct, who is closest to, the grid square within which the centre of the ball is judged to be located.
In the event that one or more entrants are equally close to or exactly match the Judges' coordinates (a 'Tie') when a Time Limited Competition (Competition reference prefixed with 'SC' or 'SP') is judged, these entrants (the 'Competition Tie Entrants') will be asked to take part in another “spot the ball” Competition in order to determine a single Winner. The Tie entry mechanism (the 'Competition Tie Break') will be exactly the same as before but with a new sporting photograph and there will be no payment due. The Competition will be judged in exactly the same way to determine the Winner. In the very unlikely event there is another Tie, the Competition Tie Break process will be repeated until there is a single Winner. In the event of a Time Limited Supercar Competition Tie Break (Competition reference prefixed with 'SC'), the Cash Alternative (see below 7a) for the Competition will be split between the Supercar Competition Tie Entrants. The Winner of the Supercar Competition Tie Break will receive £50,000. The Supercar Competition Tie Entrant(s) involved in the Supercar Competition Tie Break who do not win will share the remaining £40,000 which will be split equally between the number of runners up.
In the event of a Time Limited Sportscar Competition Tie break (Competition reference prefixed with 'SP') the Winner of the Sportscar Competition Tie Break will choose from the prizes available as stated in the Competition details. The Sportscar Competition Tie Entrant(s) involved in the Sportscar Competition Tie Break who do not win will each receive £1,000.
The Promoter reserves the right to cancel any Time Limited Competition, for any reason, before the designated closing date. In these circumstances the Promoter reserves the right to transfer the entrants' Ticket(s) into another Competition for which the ticket price is at least the same or more than the original price paid. The Promoter also reserves the right at its sole discretion to extend the closing date on any Time Limited Competition.
- b) Ticket Limited Competitions: Ticket Limited Competitions will close when the specified number of Tickets have been sold. The position of the centre of the ball will normally be determined before the Competition starts by an independent Judge, using his sporting experience in the presence of a qualified lawyer and a representative from the Promoter, and will immediately be encrypted and stored securely on our database. In certain cases and at the discretion of the Promoter, the position of the centre of the ball may be determined after the close of the competition. The Judge's chosen position will then be computed against the database of coordinates to mathematically calculate which of the Competition entrants is closest to the Judge's position, and therefore the Winner of the prize. The Winner will be the person who correctly identifies, or if no one is correct, who is closest to, the grid square within which the centre of the ball is judged to be located. In the event of a Tie, the winning entrants ('Joint Winners') will share equally the specified Cash Alternative.
The Promoter reserves the right to close any Ticket Limited Competition prior to all of the tickets being sold. In this situation the Promoter at its sole discretion will either; award the full prize in the normal way, or, calculate the total number of tickets sold as a percentage of the total number specified for that Competition, with the prize forming the same percentage of the cash alternative. By way of example if only 70/100 or 70% of the tickets had been sold when the Competition closed and the cash alternative for the Competition prize was £1000, the new prize would become £700 and the judging would continue as normal.
- c) Instant Win Competitions: Instant Win Competitions will close immediately when an entrant matches the Judges' coordinates or, if no one matches the Judges' coordinates, on the specified end date (‘Drop Dead Date’). The position of the centre of the ball will be determined before the Competition starts by an independent Judge, using his sporting experience in the presence of a qualified lawyer and a representative from the Promoter, and will immediately be encrypted and stored securely on our database. Each Competition entry will be computed against the Judge's coordinates. If the coordinates match, the Winner is selected instantaneously and the Competition closes.
If no one has exactly matched the chosen coordinates prior to the specified Competition Drop Dead Date then the Winner will be awarded either a specified amount of Game Credit or the actual prize (please refer to the individual competition details). The Judges' chosen position will be computed against the database of all the entrants' coordinates to mathematically calculate which of the competitors is closest to the Judge's position, and therefore the Winner of the Game Credit or Prize. In the event of a Tie, the winning entrants ('Joint Winners') will share equally the specified Game Credit or Cash Alternative (please refer to the individual competition details).
All pre-purchased Instant Win Credits must be played prior to the closing of the relevant competition. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Instant Win Competition closes and there is un-played Instant Win Credit in an entrants’ account for that competition, it will be forfeited.
- d) Free Competitions: Free Competitions will close on the date specified. The position of the centre of the ball will be determined after the close of the competition by a Director from the Promoter. The chosen position will then be computed against the database of coordinates to mathematically calculate which of the Competition entrants is closest to this position, and therefore the winning entrant (the 'Winner') of the prize. The Winner will be the person who correctly identifies, or if no one is correct, who is closest to, the grid square within which the centre of the ball is judged to be located. In the event of a Tie, the winning entrants ('Joint Winners') will share equally the specified Cash Alternative.
The Winner of a Competition will be notified at the address or telephone number given in their contact details within 20 days of the closing date of the relevant Competition. Any entrant may check the results of Competitions completed within the last 12 months at our website www.botb.com. All decisions of the Judge will be final and binding on the entrants and no correspondence will be entered into.
All Competition entrants are automatically entered onto the Promoter's database for the purpose of conveying information as to the status of their Competition, as well as for any future promotions or Competitions offered by the Promoter.
- Winner's Details: The Winner will be required to send a copy of their passport to the Promoter to confirm their identity, age and also to prove that if the purchase was made by credit card that the card was legally theirs or that they had authorisation to use it, before any prize will be paid or delivered. The Winner will also be required to provide photographs for use in future marketing by the Promoter. Following receipt and verification of the details requested above by the Promoter, the Winner will be contacted in order to make arrangements for delivery of the prize. At this point the Winner must choose between the prizes available (as detailed in the Competition prize information on the Promoters' website www.botb.com) and notify the promoter of their choice in writing.
