i) KCAL9 will have a “playoff” to determine the qualifier that will throw for the Grand Prize. The “playoff” will be conducted in the following manner:
Each qualifier will have a chance to shoot one (1) Half Court Shot. If the qualifier makes the Half Court Shot, they are in contention for the Grand Prize. If the qualifier misses it, they are eliminated from contest and will not win the Grand Prize. If two or more qualifiers make the Half Court Shot, the qualifiers will each get to shoot another Half Court Shot. If the qualifiers continue to make the Half Court Shot, they remain in contention for the Grand Prize. The “playoff” will continue until all but one qualifier misses the Half Court Shot. The qualifier that did not miss the Half Court Shot during the “playoff” will win the $10,000. If none of the qualifiers make the Half Court Shot, no qualifier shall be awarded the $10,000.

ii) KCAL9 will select a qualifier at random (e.g. coin toss, etc.) to determine the qualifier that will shoot first for the Grand Prize.

(c) A representative of KCAL9-TV will contact the qualifiers by telephone. If KCAL9-TV is unable to contact a qualifier based on the information provided on the entry form through the initial phone call, an alternate qualifier will be randomly selected from all other eligible entries. Qualifier(s) must be present on the phone to win and accept the prize as stated. KCAL9-TV is not responsible for any qualifier’s inability to answer their phone(s) when prize(s) are being awarded by KCAL9-TV.

(d) The Qualifiers and Grand Prize winner will be required to sign and return to KCAL9-TV an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Liability form immediately upon notification. Inability to do so will result in a forfeiture of the Grand Prize and an alternate winner will be selected.
