REGISTRANTS ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE CORRESPONDING TIME IN THEIR RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.
The Game begins on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 and ends at the start of the final match of the WTA Finals scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 9, 2024 (“Promotion Period”). The Promotion Period consists of “Swings”: (a) Swing 1: May 7, 2024 – August 4, 2024; (b) Swing 2: August 6, 2024 – November 9, 2024.
5. Objective & Overview of Game:
In the Game, Registrants attempt to accumulate the most points by making correct predictions in response to posted questions about Hologic WTA Tour tennis tournaments.** During each day of the Promotion Period (also referred to as “Tournament Day”), Sponsor will post one (1) or more questions regarding one of the scheduled matches taking place on that Tournament Day and/or otherwise corresponding to the Tournament generally. A sample question might be: in today’s match between Caroline Garcia and Coco Gauff, who will record more aces?
If a given Tournament Day’s question(s) is/are answered correctly, the Registrant will receive Points for each Tournament Day’s question correctly answered.† Depending on the specific Tournament Day’s question, a correct answer will result in either one (1), two (2) or three (3) Points; the number of Points available will be listed next to the corresponding Tournament Day’s question.(Registrants start with zero (0) Points.) In addition, beginning on Monday, July 29, 2024, the Registrant builds a streak by correctly answering the Tournament Day Streak Question on consecutive Tournament Days (“Streak”). (For clarity, beginning on July 29, 2024, if there is only one [1] Tournament Day’s question on a given Tournament Day, that question will also function as the Tournament Day Streak Question; if there are multiple Tournament Day’s questions on a given Tournament Day, only one [1] of these questions will also function as the Tournament Day Streak Question. In all cases, the Tournament Day Streak Question will be clearly designated as such.) Regardless of their Point totals and the number of consecutive Tournament Days prior to July 29, 2024 on which Registrant correctly answered the Tournament Day’s question(s), all Registrants start with a Streak of zero (0).
†As Monday, August 5, 2024 falls between Swing 1 and Swing 2, no Points will be awarded for correctly answering questions on August 5. But, the Streak portion of the Game is still in effect on August 5 and, to keep his/her Streak alive, a Registrant must correctly answer the Tournament Day Streak Question on August 5.
If a Registrant incorrectly answers or fails to answer a Tournament Day’s question, the Registrant will not receive any Points for that Tournament Day’s question. (Points are not deducted from a Registrant for incorrect answers or failing to answer a Tournament Day’s question. If there are multiple Tournament Day’s questions on a given Tournament Day, incorrectly answering or failing to answer one [1] Tournament Day’s question will not affect a Registrant’s ability to receive Points for correctly answering other Tournament Day’s question[s] on that Tournament Day including the Tournament Day Streak Question [beginning on July 29, 2024.]) In addition, beginning on July 29, 2024, incorrectly answering or failing to answer the Tournament Day Streak Question will result in the Registrant’s Streak being “broken” and he/she will have to start a new Streak at zero (0).
In all cases, the official sanctioned data/results of matches, as of twenty-hours (24) hours after the conclusion of the corresponding match, will be used to determine whether an answer to any given Tournament Day’s question is correct. (Should the data/results of a match be corrected after such twenty-four [24] hour period, Registrant’s Point totals and, if the affected Tournament Day’s question is the Tournament Day Streak Question, the Registrant’s Streak will NOT be affected.) For Tournament Day’s questions including Tournament Day Streak Questions which address a given Tournament generally (and not with respect to match play at that Tournament), Sponsor shall determine the correct answers to such questions in its sole discretion. Sponsor’s decisions in this regard (as well as all other decisions of Sponsor and Administrator relative to the Game) are final and binding in all respects and not subject to appeal.
**Hologic WTA Tour tennis tournaments consist of all sanctioned tournaments: WTA 250, WTA 500, WTA 1000 and WTA Finals. (For clarity, WTA 125 and Grand Slam tournaments are excluded.)
If any question on a given Tournament Day’ does not result in a definitive answer, no Points will be awarded for that question. In addition beginning on July 29, 2024, if a question on a given Tournament Day does not result in a definitive answer and it is also the Tournament Day Streak Question, Streaks will not be affected. To use the above example, Caroline Garcia and Coco Gauff each record 10 aces in their match on the corresponding Tournament Day. A further example is a match being suspended or postponed on a given Tournament Day due to inclement weather (or any other reason).
In the unlikely event that the only question(s) on a given Tournament Day relate to match play and no matches are played on that Tournament Day, no Points will be awarded for that Tournament Day; and, if this occurs on or after July 29, 2024, Streaks will not be affected.
For all purposes, Sponsor’s computer (at its offices in St. Petersburg, Florida U.S.A.) is the official clock for the Game.

7. Game Play:
At a certain time . on a given Tournament Day, that Tournament Day’s question(s) will be posted on the Website. If multiple questions are posted on the same Tournament Day, all questions may or may not be posted at or around the same time. The time of posting of question(s) on a given Tournament Day will vary by Tournament Day.
After signing in, input your answer(s) to that Tournament Day’s question(s) by the posted deadline for each question. The deadline for answering question(s) on a given Tournament Day will vary by Tournament Day.
A given Tournament Day’s question(s) will only be available during the indicated times. Missing the opportunity to answer question(s) for a given Tournament Day for any reason will have the same effect as a Registrant electing not to answer the applicable Tournament Day’s question(s).
You may change your answer one or more times prior to the deadline for answering question(s) for a given Tournament Day. If you change your answer, the last answer that you inputted will be considered your final answer and will be used for purposes of Game Play.
Do NOT include any commentary along with your answer(s) to question(s) fora given Tournament Day. Revisiting the sample question from Section 5, your answer should consist solely of a whole number. If Sponsor cannot readily determine your answer, it will be deemed by Sponsor to be incorrect. If your answer is accompanied by content that Sponsor determines in its sole discretion is obscene, hateful, offensive or otherwise inappropriate, it will be deemed by Sponsor to be incorrect and will result in disqualification from the Game and may result in Sponsor prohibiting you from participating in future promotions offered by Sponsor or its affiliated/related entities as well as seeking damages to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8. Scoring:
The Registrant with the highest Point total for each Swing will win a Swing Prize (as defined in Section 10 below). There is a limit of one (1) Swing Prize per person. Accordingly, if the Swing 1 Prize winner has the highest Point total in Swing 2, the Registrant with the next highest Point total in Swing 2 will win the Swing 2 Prize.
In the event of a tie for either Swing Prize (that is, two [2] or more Registrants have the same highest Point total for a Swing) the Swing Prize Winner will be determined based on which of the tied Registrants correctly answered more or the most Tournament Day’s questions with a value of three (3) Points. Should a tie still remain, the Swing Prize Winner will be the Registrant who is selected in a random drawing conducted by Administrator from among those still tied.
The odds of winning the Swing Prize for a given Swing depends on the knowledge of a Registrant regarding Hologic WTA Tour tennis tournaments taking place during that Swing (and WTA Tour players competing same) as compared to that of other Registrants.
If a Registrant accumulates a Streak of fifty (50) or more (beginning on July 29, 2024), he/she will win the Streak Prize. The length of a Streak Prize Winner’s Streak (provided that it is at least fifty [50]) will in no way affect the Streak Prize won: a given Registrant can only win one (1) Streak Prize. If more than one (1) Registrant accumulates a Streak of fifty (50) or more (beginning on July 29, 2024), the Streak Prize will be divided equally among all such Registrants.
The odds of winning the Streak Prize depends on the knowledge of a Registrant regarding Hologic WTA Tour tennis tournaments taking place between July 29, 2024 and the end of the Promotion Period (and WTA Tour players competing same.)
From time to time during the Promotion Period, the Website will feature a leader board listing all Registrants by username and Point total and, beginning after July 29, 2024, the longest active Streak (“Leader Board”). Notwithstanding the contents of any Leader Board, Sponsor reserves the right to revise the Point totals, Streak status and rankings of Registrants listed on a given Leader Board at any time prior to the awarding of prizes.
A REGISTRANT IS NOT A POTENTIAL WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL HE/SHE IS PERSONALLY NOTIFIED TO SUCH EFFECT BY SPONSOR/ADMINISTRATOR AS PER SECTION 11 BELOW. THE CONTENTS OF LEADER BOARDS ARE NOT IN ANY WAY BINDING UPON SPONSOR OR ADMINISTRATOR UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS PROOF OF WINNING ANY PRIZE.
