  3. How to Play: By performing any of the following eight activities on the Website, participants will be awarded "yards" for that corresponding activity. For example, as shown below, a participant would be awarded 100 yards for registering, or 15 points for commenting on an article or blog. Once a participant has accumulated 100 yards by performing any of the activities, they are awarded with a "touchdown." Each touchdown constitutes one entry into the sweepstakes.

    Activities and Corresponding Points. Participation in any of these eight activities on the Website earns the corresponding number of yards:

    1. Registration into The Drive = 100 yards (automatic entry)
    2. Invite a Friend (friend has to register) = 100 yards
    3. Upload a Video = 45 yards
    4. Create a Blog = 40 yards
    5. Upload a Photo = 30 yards
    6. Submit a Story = 25 yards
    7. Commenting on Blogs, Photos, Stories and Videos = 15 yards
    8. Page Views = 5 yards per page (not including pages with refreshes)

    Submission of photos, stories, blogs or comments must be bona fide, done in good faith, relevant, meaningful, timely (not outdated) and bear a reasonable relationship to sports. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may void such submissions and award no points for them.

  4. Prizes/Odds of Winning. One Daily Prize Winner will be randomly selected each day from all eligible entries (one "touchdown" equals one entry) earned that day. Points earned that do not comprise a "touchdown" entry will be rolled over to the next day(s) a participant plays until a "touchdown" is earned.

    One Grand Prize Winner will also be selected from among all combined entries earned and awarded during the entire Promotional Period including Daily Prize Winner's entries.

    Daily Winners' Names may be posted on the Website between approximately 2/6/2009 – 6/30/2009. The Grand Prize Winner's name will be posted on the Website for an indefinite amount of time at the discretion of OPEN Sports.

    The drawings and awarding of prizes will be conducted by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Sponsor will attempt to notify potential Grand Prize Winner by e-mail, and/or telephone within approximately two weeks after drawing. If a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been made during (5) business days from the first notification attempt, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and awarded, subject to the same conditions, to a randomly selected alternate winner.

    If a winner cannot accept a prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate randomly selected winner. All taxes on a prize, if any, are solely the winner's responsibility.

    No prize transfers or cash or other substitutions, except that Sponsor may offer prize winner cash in lieu of prize, or may substitute a prize, in whole or in part, for one of comparable or greater value in the event advertised prize (or any component thereof), as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, is unavailable. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited and not awarded.

    Grand Prize consists of Super Bowl tickets and car lease only; and does not include transportation, insurance, telephone charges, personal expenses, travel arrangements, ground transportation, parking, gratuities, food, merchandise, souvenirs, beverage or anything else. All expenses related to acceptance and use of prize are the prize winner's responsibility.

    Sponsor and its agents make no warranties, representations or guarantees relative to any prize, and disclaim all liability for the provision, quality or nature of any third party product or services provided to winner or travel companion(s).

    Odds of winning Daily Prize are dependent on total number of eligible entries received that day. Odds of winning Grand Prize depend on total number of combined entries received during the Promotional Period. In no event will more prizes be awarded than are provided for in these Official Rules. Prize winners are subject to verification, and prize(s) will be forfeited or, if awarded, must be returned, if winner has not fully complied with these rules or has violated any law when participating.
