OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE ENTRANT’S CHANCE OF WINNING.
1. HOW TO ENTER
a. These rules govern the Sports Radio 66 & 101.9 WFAN BOOMER & CARTON “MYSTERY NET” promotion (the “Promotion”), which is being conducted by WFAN(AM) and WFAN-FM (collectively, the “Station”). The Promotion begins on Thursday, May 8, 2014 and ends on Monday, May 12, 2014 (the “Promotion Dates”).
i. To enter, on-air, listen to the Station each weekday beginning on Thursday, May 8, 2014 and ending on Monday, May 12, 2014 between the hours of 6:00am ET and 10:00am ET for the announcement of the Mystery Nets Clue (the “Clue”). Up to one (1) Clue will air each weekday during the Promotion Dates for up to a total of three (3) Clues. Each Clue will help the entrant correctly identify who the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets player (current or former) pre-selected by the Station at the beginning of the Promotion is (the “Mystery Net”). Upon hearing the Clue on Monday, May 12, 2014, the Station will announce the cue to call shortly thereafter. Upon hearing the cue to call, the designated caller (as announced by the on-air personality prior to the cue to call) to get through to the Station contest line at 866-540-9326 will have the opportunity to win a prize by correctly identifying the Mystery Net upon confirmation of eligibility. The Station will determine if the entrant is correct in its sole and absolute discretion. The Station reserves the right to announce additional Clues if it determines any difficulty in identifying the Mystery Net. If there will be a game five (5) being played as part of the Brooklyn Nets’ playoff series, then the winner will receive the grand prize. If there will be no game five (5) played, then the winner will receive the consolation prize. At the time of entrant’s call, entrant will be required to provide all information requested including entrant’s full name, complete address (including zip code), day and evening phone numbers and date of birth in order to be eligible to win. P.O. Boxes are not permitted. In the event that the selected caller is disconnected, incorrectly identifies the Mystery Net, or is found to be ineligible, the next eligible caller who successfully makes it through on the call-in line, correctly identifies the Mystery Net, and completes the call will be a winner. There is no limit to the number of times a listener may attempt to call in to win, but a listener may be a winner only once.
b. There will be up to a total of one (1) winner selected in the Promotion.
c. Due to delays in the online streaming of the Station’s broadcast signal, listeners to the online stream may not be able to participate in or may be disadvantaged in participating in on-air contests. Entrants are encouraged to listen to the Station on-air. The Station is not responsible for online streaming delays.
