Prize Draws:
4. QUALIFIERS
During the Contest Period, and as described below, the contest administrator will select two (2)
Qualifiers, during each Vancouver Canucks home game. Each Qualifier selected, will represent the
game during which their names have been drawn. The contest administrator will make two (2) random
draws during each Team home game to declare Qualifiers as follows:
(a) Online Qualifier Draws. At 10:00 a.m. [PT] on the day of each Canucks Team home,
one (1) name will be drawn from all online entries that have been received up to that
point. The online entrant chosen will become one of the Qualifiers for that day’s homeTeam game. Odds of being declared an Online Qualifier are dependant on total number
of online entries.
(b) On-site (Ballot entry) Qualifier Draw. The Ballot entry period for each Canucks Team
home game will begin one (1) hour prior to that game and will close immediately prior to
the start of the second (2nd) period of that game. Immediately after the start of the second
(2nd) period of that game, one (1) ballot will be drawn. The entrant named on the ballot
will be declared the second Qualifier for that game. Odds of being declared an on-site
Qualifier are dependant on the total number of on-site ballot entries.
If a goal is scored by the Team against the opposing team during the last minute of play in the
second period, both Qualifiers will be declared Finalists and will be eligible to participate in the
Grand Prize Event. A Qualifier may only receive one (1) Finalist entry regardless of how many goals
are scored in the last minute of play by the Team. The last minute of play begins at the last 00:59
seconds in the period down until and including zero. The time a goal was scored will be determined
by the final call of the National Hockey League (NHL) referee for the game. If there is no goal
scored in the last minute of play, there is no prize awarded to either Qualifier. The odds of being
declared a Finalist depends on the number of goals scored during the last minute of play in each
period of each home game during the Contest Period.
ON-SITE FINALIST:
On April 5, 2008 there will be one (1) random draw to select one On-Site Finalist as follows:
On-Site Finalist Draw. One Finalist will be declared by one (1) random draw on April 5, 2008
from all on-site ballots received during the period that begins one hour prior to the April 5, 2008
game start up and ends with the closing of the second period of that game. The odds of being
selected as a On-Site Finalist during the April 5, 2008 game and to be eligible to participate in the
Grand Prize shoot-out event at centre ice during that game, depends on the total number of On-site
ballot entries received that day during the entry period (1 hour before the game up to the closing of
the second period). The On-Site Finalist designation has no retail value.
Grand Prize Event. Each Finalist and the On-site Finalist will randomly be assigned, by the
Contest Administrator, to a position on the goal line on the ice and will be required to shoot a hockey
puck marked with their name, with a hockey stick, from their designated spot, to the centre line
without going past it. The Finalist whose puck stops closest in measurement to the designated centre
line without any portion of the puck passing the furthest edge of the line, will win the Grand Prize.
Measurement will take place after each puck has stopped. Measurement will be based on the final
stop of the puck, regardless if the puck: touched the board(s), bounced off the board(s), hit another
competitor’s puck(s) or was hit by another competitor’s puck. Pucks will not be touched or cleared
away until the game is finished. Determination of measurement is at the sole and final discretion of
the independent judging organization. No practice, warm up, qualifying or trial shots will be
permitted at General Motors Place on the day of the Grand Prize Event. The shoot-out game at
centre ice will not be considered practice, warm up, qualifying or trial shots. The hockey pucks will
be approved regulation pucks provided by the Vancouver Canucks Hockey Club. Finalists must
wear ice cleats and a helmet (provided by Contest Administrator) and use a regulation hockey stick
(as provided by Contest Administrator) to participate and must attempt the shot with no third party
assistance, equipment or machinery of any kind, other than as provided by the ContestAdministrator. In the event that there is only one Finalist declared during the Contest Period, there
will be no shoot-out game and the Finalist will be declared the Grand Prize winner.
