6. DETERMINATION OF WINNERS

The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winners within seven (7) days of the drawing using the information on the entry form.
7. REQUIREMENTS OF POTENTIAL WINNERS
Except where prohibited, potential winners may be required to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (the "Affidavit/Release") within seven (7) days of being notified. If a potential winner fails to sign and return the Affidavit/Release within the required time period, an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all entries received. If a potential winner is a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian will be required to sign the Affidavit/Release on the potential winner's behalf.
8. PRIZES
Twenty-eight (28) winners will each receive one (1) BK King mask ($9.99 retail value), one (1) BK Crown Card ($10 retail value), and one (1) Xbox Live 3-Month Gold Subscription Card ($19.99 retail value). Any prize details not specified above will be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Prizes are not transferable or refundable and must be accepted as awarded. No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Each winner is responsible for taxes and all other costs and expenses not listed above. Prizes won by a minor will be awarded to that minor's parent or legal guardian.
9. GENERAL CONDITIONS
In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Tournament is impaired in any way for any reason, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the Tournament to address the impairment and then resume the Tournament in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) award the prizes from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Tournament or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Tournament may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
10. RELEASE AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
By participating in the Tournament, entrants agree to release and hold harmless the Sponsor, the Microsoft Corporation (“Prize Provider”), their related companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the "Released Parties") from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Tournament or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) unauthorized human intervention in the Tournament; (b) technical errors; (c) printing errors; (d) lost, late, postage-due, misdirected, or undeliverable mail; (e) errors in the administration of the Tournament or the processing of entries; or (f) injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant's participation in the Tournament or receipt of any prize.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, entrant's rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Tournament, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of Florida or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Florida.
