| Section 2 - Details of the Game
| |
|
2.1 The Game is open to residents of all countries.
2.2 The Game is divided into three league systems, each with different scoring criteria:
- ‘The Predictions League’ operates according to a points system, which relates to the accuracy of the members’ predictions
of the specified matches. Members receive 1 point for each ‘correct outcome’ (i.e. if they correctly specify which team will
win or lose, or that the match is drawn). Members receive 2 points for each ‘correct result’ (i.e. if they correctly specify
the exact score line of a match). Each point has a monetary value of UK£0.01p.
- ‘The Bonus League’ operates to a system whereby points are allotted according to members achieving certain specified targets.
Members receive 50 points if they are the highest points scorer in the Predictions League between the first day of each month
(the ‘monthly winner’). In the event that more than one member achieves the highest monthly score, they shall each receive
the 50 point bonus. Members receive 30 points if they earn at least 1 Prediction League point for each match in a single round of predictions
in the Predictions League. Members receive 50 points if they refer a new member to the Site. There are no limits to the number
of referrals that a member may make. Each point has a monetary value of UK£0.005p.
- ‘The Champions League’ operates according to the Predictions League points system, and is open only to the 16 highest point scorers in the 2002/3 Predictions League game.
2.3 Members accumulate points in both the Predictions League and the Bonus League, with the final points totals converted
to a combined monetary value. Each member will then receive payment of his or her accumulated winnings
following the completion of the 2003/4 English football season.
2.4 Throughout the season members will receive offers both by e-mail and on the Site that will award bonus points as an incentive.
The number of points shall be specified when each offer is published, and will apply to the Bonus League.
2.5 As well as the money earned from prediction points during the season, the members with the three highest points totals
in the Predictions League at the close of the competition will also be eligible for extra cash prizes. The member with the
highest points total will receive UK£500 (the ‘Grand Prize’) in addition to their other winnings. The member with the second
highest points total will receive UK£200 in addition to their other winnings. The member with the third highest points total
will receive UK£100 in addition to their other winnings. In the event that more than one member is eligible for the Grand Prize,
the winner shall be decided according to which member has achieved the greatest number of ‘correct results’. If there is still
a tie, the winner shall be decided according to which member has achieved the greater number of ‘correct outcomes’. If there
is still a tie, the £500 shall be divided equally between all those with an equal points total. This ‘tie-break rule’ shall
also apply to the winners of the £200 and £100 prizes should the situation arise.
2.6 As well as the money earned from bonus points during the season, the members with the three highest points totals in the
Bonus League at the close of the competition will also be eligible for extra cash prizes. The member with the highest points
total will receive UK£200 (the ‘Big Bonus Prize’) in addition to their other winnings. The member with the second highest points
total will receive UK£100 in addition to their other winnings. The member with the third highest points total will receive UK£50
in addition to their other winnings. In the event that more than one member is eligible for the Big Bonus Prize, the winner
shall be decided according to which member has achieved the greater number of points in the Predictions League. If there is
still a tie, the winner shall be decided according to which member has provided the greatest number of confirmed member referrals
to the Site. If there is still a tie, the £200 shall be divided equally between all those with an equal points total. This
‘tie-break rule’ shall also apply to the winners of the £100 and £50 prizes should the situation arise.
2.7 Each player can submit only one set of predictions per group of matches. However, these predictions can be altered via
the Site prior to 14.00 on a Saturday for a weekend group of matches.
2.8 Only players with a valid participation can earn points in the Predictions League.

| Section 3 - Terms and Conditions of Participation
| |
|
3.1 Participation in the Predictions League Game can only be made by electronic means on the Site. The connection to the Site
can be made via a computer connected to the Internet.
3.2 The Game is open to participation to individuals who are at least 13 years old on 11th May 2003.
3.3 The number of players per household is limited to 2 players of the same surname and personal postal address.
3.4 Entry of the Game is not open to anyone who has been involved in organising or promoting the Game.
3.5 To participate players must go on the Site and fill in the registration form which is available on the Site. Players must
complete all the requested information (title, surname, first names, date of birth, telephone number, personal postal address,
e-mail address, username and password). In addition players may, as the case may be, give the e-mail address of the person
who introduced them to the Site. When registering on the Predict To Win website, players agree to receiving member offer e-mails
from Predict To Win and its affiliate partners. The majority of these e-mails will offer bonus points for the Bonus League
as a reward for registering with Predict To Win’s affiliate partners.
Where the player has already participated in the game and agreed that a ‘cookie’ be placed on his/her computer the player
will not have to necessarily fill in the registration form if the requested particulars have not changed. However, he/she
will have to ensure that their username appears on-screen. If the player’s particulars have changed he/she will be responsible
for updating them, otherwise the player’s participation will be deemed void.
If the player has already participated in the game but refused that a ‘cookie’ be placed on his/her computer, the player will
only be asked to give again his/her username and password.
3.6 Any registration form containing one or more errors will be deemed void. If the player omits one of the requested particulars
when filling in the registration form the player will be invited by a notice to complete the particular concerned. Failure
to complete all particulars will render the application void. All details must be accurate and relevant to you (the individual
player) and your details for you to claim your prize. You may not fill in a form or play the game on someone else’s behalf.
To do so will immediately disqualify that person’s predictions and your own predictions for the remainder of the competition.
3.7 To participate in each round of predictions every player, having specified
their predictions for the forthcoming matches, must validate his or her prediction form by clicking on one of the advertising
banners posted on the Site at that time.
3.8 Each player will receive within the 24 hours following the submission of their predictions an e-mail confirming his or
her participation in that round of predictions. By registering with Predict To Win, the player agrees to receive occasional
newsletters detailing game developments and site news.
3.9 Every player can only play one set of predictions per group of matches. Participation in the Predictions League weekend
game will be closed every Saturday at 14.00 UK time. The prediction
form will be deemed received by Predict To Win at the time the latter can access it rather than the time it was sent.

that acquired by converting their Predictions League, Bonus League and Champions' League points totals into UK£).
5.5 Following the end of the 2003/4 English football season, Predict To Win will calculate the monetary value of every member’s
Predictions League, Bonus League and Champions' League points totals, as well as any cash prizes won. Every member who has earnings amounting
to UK£1.00 and above, will receive their earnings through either PayPal, MoneyBookers or No Chex. Each of these members will also receive an e-mail informing them of their total earnings
and confirming that their payment has been sent. Members who fail to reach UK£1.00 in earnings will not receive any payment.
5.6 To be eligible for final payment, the player must provide his/her correct details in full at the time of registration.
From that point forwards, his/her details must be correct, and refer specifically to himself/herself, at the time of receiving
any payment. Players may alter their registration details at any time through “Your Details” on the Site. Furthermore, only
the person who holds the registered name and address may play his/her game. No one may play on a registrant’s behalf at any
time, as this does not constitute an action of the registered player.
5.7 When accepting a cash prize, winners of the Grand Prize and the Big Bonus Prize explicitly authorise Predict To Win to
use their surname, first name and picture and to mention the name of the city, county and/or country where they reside. These
particulars can be used in any promotion or advertising using any support, as well as on the Site and any other website featuring
the Game in the UK or abroad for 2 years. The use of these elements by Predict To Win will be free of any payment or remuneration,
other than the payment of the prize.
5.8 Winners will be responsible for payment of any tax or other fees that may be payable by them in accordance with any applicable
statutes and other laws and regulations. Predict To Win will not be held liable in this respect.
