To enter the Contest, entrants must visit yourerie.com/contests and submit an entry form. Entrants must include their name, phone number and e-mail address, date of birth and winning team selections in order to enter.  Winning team selections can be revised or updated until the associated game is locked out, which will occur approximately five (5) minutes prior to the official kick-off time of each game.  Any winning team selections submitted after the lock out deadline will be considered invalid.

During the Game Period, points will be awarded to eligible entrants for correct winning team picks.

Using the Second Street Rule’s formulation, as detailed below, points are calculated as follows:

·      Regular Season Games – 1 point                                      September 4, 2025 – January 5, 2026

·      Wild Card and Divisional Playoff Game – 3 points         January 10 – 12, 2026

·      Championship Game – 16 points                                     February 8, 2026

The eligible entrant who has the most points each week will be determined as the weekly local market winner. 

In the event of a tie for any weekly prize, the tie will be broken as follows: (a) each tied eligible entrant’s predicted score from the winning team in that week's designated tie-breaker game will be subtracted from the actual score obtained by the winning team, and the difference will then be multiplied by itself, (b) that eligible entrant’s predicted score from the losing team in that week's designated tie-breaker game will be subtracted from the actual score obtained by the losing team, and the difference is multiplied by itself, (c) the result in (a) is added to the result in (b) to obtain the score approximation ("Score Approximation"). The tied eligible entrant with the lowest Score Approximation will be deemed the weekly prize winner. If a tie remains, the weekly winner will be selected at random from among those still tied eligible entrants.

If a tie breaker game is cancelled, postponed or forfeited and there is a tie, the winner will be chosen randomly. If an entire week of game play is cancelled or postponed, the weekly prize for that week will be determined in a random drawing of all eligible entrants who submitted Picks for that week prior to the week’s cancellation in accordance with these Official Rules.

_______________

[1] In the event the 2025 pro football season is cancelled on or before September 4, 2025, the Sponsors reserve the right to modify the prize.  See Section 5.

The eligible entrant who predicts the most games correctly, and with the highest total "net score" at the end of the Game Period from among all eligible entrants within that participating local market, will be determined as the overall local market winner, subject to approval and verification of compliance with these Official Rules. An eligible entrant’s total "net score" will be determined by subtracting the entrant’s four (4) lowest weekly scores from his/her total score for all twenty-two (22) weeks of the season and playoffs.

In the event of a tie for the overall local market prize, the eligible entrant with the lowest total Score Approximation for week 22 will be declared the winner. If a tie remains, the overall local market winner will be selected at random from among those still tied.

If a game is canceled, postponed or forfeited for any reason, or if a game ends in a tie, no points will be awarded for that game, and winner(s) will still be determined as set forth in these Official Rules. If the entire Football season is cancelled or postponed, the local market prize will be determined in a random drawing from among all eligible participants who submitted game picks in the Contest prior to the season cancellation in accordance with these Official Rules.

If an eligible entrant does NOT actively select a winning team for one or more games during a week, that specific game selection will automatically default to the winner/losing team selection as determined by the majority of the team selections entered nationwide by all participating eligible entrants (per game).  Accordingly, if an entrant does not actively select a winning/losing team, and a majority of the nationwide picks for that game indicate Team A as winner, the non-participating entrant’s “selection” will automatically default to Team A as the winning team selection.

For each week during the regular and playoff seasons, Participants will also enter a prediction for the winning and losing scores for the week’s designated tie breaker game. If you fail to enter a prediction for the weekly tie-breaker game, your predicted scores for the winning and losing teams will be the average score for the majority of Participants.

WEEKLY PRIZE WINNER AND OVERALL PRIZE WINNER SCORING AND TIEBREAKER

Points will be awarded to Participants for correct Picks in accordance with the following:

Regular Season Games - 1 point
Wild Card Round Games - 3 points
Divisional Playoff Round Games - 4 points
Conference Finals - 8 points
Championship Game - 16 points

The Participant with the most points for each week of the American pro football regular season will be deemed a Weekly Prize winner. The Participant with the highest total "net score" at the end of the Challenge Period will be deemed the Grand Prize winner. A Participant's total "net score" will be determined by subtracting the Participant's four (4) lowest weekly scores from their total score for all 22 weeks of the season and playoffs.

Tie-Breakers
In the event of a tie for any Weekly Prize, the tie will be broken as follows: (a) each tied Participant’s predicted score from the winning team in that week's designated tie-breaker game will be subtracted from the actual score obtained by the winning team, and the difference will then be multiplied by itself, (b) that Participant's predicted score from the losing team in that week's designated tie-breaker game will be subtracted from the actual score obtained by the losing team, and the difference is multiplied by itself, (c) the result in (a) is added to the result in (b) to obtain the score approximation ("Score Approximation"). The tied Participant with the lowest Score Approximation will be deemed the Weekly Prize winner. If a tie remains, the winner will be selected at random from among those still tied.

In the event of a tie for the Grand Prize, the tied Participant with the lowest total Score Approximation for week 22 will be declared the winner, then, if necessary, a random winner will be selected to break the tie.

If a Game is canceled, postponed or forfeited for any reason, or if a game ends in a tie, no points will be awarded for that Game and winner(s) will still be determined as set forth in these Official Rules. If a tie breaker game is cancelled, postponed or forfeited and there is a tie, the winner will be chosen randomly. If an entire week of game play is cancelled or postponed, the Weekly Prize for that week will be determined in a random drawing of all eligible Participants who submitted Picks for that week prior to the week’s cancellation in accordance with these Official Rules. If the entire football season is cancelled, the Grand Prize will be determined in a random drawing from among all eligible Participants who submitted Picks in the Challenge prior to the season cancellation in accordance with these Official Rules.

"Pro Football Regular Season Survivor Game" Bonus Game

To participate in the Survivor Game, Participants must visit the Challenge Website each week of the regular season and select one team the Participant believes will win its Game that week. Picks may be made beginning Tuesday leading up to the start of the week’s first scheduled game. Each correct selection advances a Participant to the following week to select their winner for that week. If a Game results in a tie, it counts as a win and the Participant will advance. Each team may only be picked by the Participant one time during the regular season. If a Participant fails to pick a winning team for each week during the regular season, they will not be eligible for the Overall Prize or Second Chance Prize (defined below) in the Survivor Game.

In week 18 of the regular season, Participants must also enter a prediction for the winning and losing scores for the week’s designated tie breaker game. If you fail to enter a prediction for the week 18 tie-breaker game, your predicted scores for the winning and losing teams will be the average score for the majority of Participants.

The Participant who makes it through the entire regular season predicting a correct winner each week will win the Survivor Game Overall Prize. In the event of a tie for Survivor Game Overall Prize, tied Participant with the lowest Score Approximation for week 18 will be deemed the Survivor Game Prize Winner. If a tie remains, the winner will be selected at random from among those still tied.

Participants with one (1) wrong guess in the Survivor Game will be able to continue to participate and are eligible for the Survivor Game Second Chance Prize. If more than one player makes it through the regular season with only one wrong Pick, the winner will be determined based on the total Overall Contest scores for each tied player through the end of the regular season, and if there is still a tie, then the week 18 "Score Approximation" tiebreaker process for the main game will be used. Participants with two (2) or more wrong guesses can continue to play for fun and will be entered into a drawing from among all Survivor Game Participants with two (2) or more wrong guesses for a chance to win the Survivor Game Fun Prize.

Odds of winning any random drawing contemplated in these Official Rules depend upon the number of tied Participants (in the case of tie-breaker drawings) or the number of eligible entries received (in the case of the Survivor Game Fun Prize).

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void entries of any Participants who Sponsor believes have attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Challenge. Organizer’s failure to or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy, or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Challenge-related materials and/or these Official Rules (including any alleged discrepancy or inconsistency within these Official Rules), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Participants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Challenge structure or these Official Rules. If Sponsor determines, at any time and in its sole discretion, that a winner or potential winner is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Official Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify that winner or potential winner, even if the disqualified winner or potential winner may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Challenge is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Challenge and award the prizes from eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor.

GOVERNING LAW/DISPUTES/ARBITRATION: you agree that these official rules and your participation in the challenge are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, both you and Organizer waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action.

The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes associated with this challenge or these official rules only through arbitration; provided, however, the Organizer shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts located in or having jurisdiction over Austin, TX and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS (defined below) rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this promotion will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined arbitration rules & procedures of JAMS Inc. ("JAMS") or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a "demand for arbitration," then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, or Toronto, ON (whichever is closest to your residence), or in your hometown, but only if JAMS rules so require. The federal or state law that applies to these official rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction Austin, TX. Organizer agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of participant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of the challenge.

Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will you be permitted or entitled to obtain awards for, and hereby waive all rights to claim, incidental or consequential damages. The prior limitation on damages is not intended to limit the Released Parties’ obligation (if any) to pay prevailing party costs or fees if recoverable pursuant to applicable law.

You and Organizer agree that, in the event that there are fifty (50) or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Organizer within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and – if required – hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration, (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty (20) matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a "Batch Arbitration"). You and Organizer agree (1) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (2) that requests for arbitration are of a "similar nature" if they arise out of the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
