13. How To Play.
    • Overview. MLL players or teams are assigned a rating value based on 2007 and 2008 performances. Entrants must select one player or team from each of the nine (9) player/team groups to form a complete active roster. Points are awarded following each scheduled week of play (see Scoring System below). Overall prizes are based on weekly performance and an entrant's total of 13 weekly scores (see Prizes below).
    • Entry and Weekly Deadlines. All entries and roster selections must be received by the official start time of the first MLL game of a given week, beginning with May 17th, in order to be eligible. Entries must be submitted via the website. The games prior to May 17th are not counted for this game.
    • Prizes. Prizes will be awarded for weekly and cumulative season play. Weekly winners will receive a Warrior Stick for first place, a Cascade CPX MLL Helmet for second place, Brine MLL Equipment for third place, a New Balance MLL Warm-up Jacket for fourth place and MLL Equipment Bag for fifth place for each of the 13 game period weeks. The cumulative point first place winner will receive the MLL Player Equipment Package (Cascade CPX helmet, game jersey and shorts, arm pads, shoulder pads, custom gloves, stick, cleats, socks and gear bag), second place through tenth place will receive a certificate for New Balance shoes and eleventh through twentyfifth place will receive MLL authentic game shorts. All scores are subject to the detailed tiebreakers in section h and on the scoring page.
    • Weekly Play. The Game will separate the thirteen week MLL regular season schedule into thirteen (13) game weeks, ("Game Weeks"). The weeks will run from May 17, 2008 to August 10, 2008. Points scored each game week will carry over for the cumulative points contest. Player/Team Groups (explained in Overview above) will be reset after each Game Week. Rosters do not carry over from week to week so every participant will need to select new players/teams prior to the beginning of a new Game Week.
    • Scoring. From all eligible entries received, the winners will be determined based on their ability to use their skill and knowledge of Lacrosse to accumulate the most points during each Game Week. In the event a scheduled game does not occur as scheduled (e.g., the game is cancelled, postponed, etc.) no points will be awarded. Ties will be broken in accordance with the tiebreaker procedure below. Player and team fantasy points will be rounded to the nearest whole number each week. All scoring disputes must be submitted by Noon PT Wednesday following the games for the previous period. The Commissioner will make the final decision on all scoring issues.
    • Scoring System. Each entrant's team will be ranked by total points by applying the official scoring system.
      
      

      Attack or Midfielder:

      • 2 Point Goal: +3
      • 1 Point Goal: +2
      • Assists: +1

      Goalies:

      • Each save: +2

      Face Off Specialist:

      • Face Off wins: +2

      Team Defense:

      • Groundballs (cumulative total for the team - not just the defense): +1

      Goals Against:

      • 0 - 9 goals allowed +8 pts
      • 10 - 15 goals allowed +4 pts
      • 16 - 19 goals allowed -4 pts
      • 20+ goals allowed -8 pts
    • Roster Lock Time. All rosters will lock at the official start time of the first MLL game of the week and must be submitted, received and recorded by H2H's computer by this scheduled lock time. Selections submitted after the deadlines listed above are considered invalid. H2H's computer is the official time keeping device for this game.
    • Tiebreakers: Weekly Winner Tiebreaker Should a tie exist between two (2) or more entrants eligible for the contest prizes, the winner will be the entrant that has the highest score in Group #1. If a tie persists, the winner will be the team with the highest score in Group #2. Persisting tiebreakers will continue using Group #3, Group #4, and so on through Group #9. If a tie continues to persist, all remaining entrants will split evenly the prize. In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration for that prize. Cumulative Point Winner Tiebreaker We use the same tiebreaker process (weekly winner tiebreaker) detailed above starting with the last week of game play. Should a tie still exist, we'll use the 2nd to last week of play and so on until the tie is broken.
14. Prizes. Prizes will be awarded to the top point scoring teams over all thirteen (13) Game Weeks. The approximate retail value ("ARV") of all prizes is $9,950.00.
    • Overall Prizes: Weekly winners will receive a Warrior Stick for first place, a Cascade CPX MLL Helmet for second place, a Brine MLL Equipment set for third place, a New Balance MLL Warm-up Jacket for fourth place and MLL game bag for fifth place for each of the 13 game period weeks. The cumulative point first place winner will receive MLL Player Equipment Package; second place through tenth place will receive a certificate for New Balance shoes ($80 value) and eleventh through twenty-fifth place will receive an $80 certificate for New Balance Shoes. All scores are subject to the detailed tiebreakers in section h and on the scoring page.
    • Odds of winning prizes depend on the total number of eligible entries received and the relative auto racing knowledge of all entrants.
    • Substitution; Taxes. No cash or other prize substitution, assignment or transfer of prizes permitted, except at H2H's sole discretion due to prize unavailability. MLL and H2H reserve the right to substitute a prize with one of comparable value or greater value (e.g., MLL and H2H may opt instead to award the cash equivalent, up to but not greater than the ARV, of any prize in lieu of the prize itself). THE WINNER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZE.
    • Prize Delivery. Weekly Winners should allow up to 6-8 weeks after they return their signed affidavit to receive their prize. Prizes returned as undeliverable or otherwise not claimed within fourteen (14) days after being sent will be forfeited.
    • No Warranty. Entrants acknowledge that MLL, H2H and their respective agencies or related companies have not made nor are in any manner responsible for any warranty, representation or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, relative to any prize, including but not limited to its quality. The only warranty for any prize is the standard limited written warranty from the prize's manufacturer, if any, which may be included with, and applicable to, the prize.
15. POTENTIAL WINNERS.
    • Verification. ALL POTENTIAL WINNING ENTRIES ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY MLL AND H2H, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL. MLL AND H2H SHALL SOLELY DETERMINE ANY FORM OF VERIFICATION. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT'S ELIBIGILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING ENTRY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. MLL AND H2H WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS, AFFIDAVITS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS. ANY ENTRY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON MAY BE DEEMED A DEFECTIVE ENTRY AND VOID.
    • "Prize Notice" via Email or Mail. Winners will be notified via email (or U.S. mail) sent approximately 30-days following the end of the Game Period. Entrants are responsible for insuring that all mailing and e-mail information is up-to-date and accurate.
    • Alternate Potential Winners; Disqualification. A potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner will be selected (i.e., the person with the next most points) if (i) he/she does not comply with these rules (or is otherwise determined to be ineligible), (ii) he/she does not respond to the prize notice within ten (10) days of its transmission (or receipt, if mailed), or if the emailed prize notice, after three attempts, is returned as undeliverable, or (iii) the prize is undeliverable for any reason. If MLL and/or H2H notifies, or seeks to deliver a prize to or otherwise attempts to contact an alternate potential winner, and such alternate potential winner is subsequently disqualified then MLL or H2H shall use its reasonable business judgment to determine, in its sole discretion, the disposition of the prize (e.g., may choose another alternate potential winner in a manner consistent with these rules or donate the prize to another entity, at it's sole discretion).
