Check usopen.com for exact start and end times. Participation in the Promotion does not constitute entry into any other promotion, contest or sweepstakes. By participating in the Promotion, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of United States Golf Association, 77 Liberty Corner Rd., Liberty Corner, NJ 07938 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.
ELIGIBILITY: Only legal United States residents residing in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older are eligible to enter. Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising and promotion agencies and each of their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Promotion Entities”) and the immediate family members, and/or those living in the same household of each, are ineligible to participate in the Promotion or win a prize. Promotion is void where prohibited by law.
HOW IT WORKS:
To participate in the Promotion, you must have the U.S. Open application (the “App”) downloaded to your data enabled smart phone from the applicable store associated with your data enabled smart phone, or you can play online through the designated URL page. Then, you must locate the Promotion link within the App and create a Pick 3 Promotion account or, if you already have an account, you must be logged into your Pick 3 account to participate. At the beginning of each Daily Entry Period, follow the on-screen instructions to pick three (3) players from a pre-selected group of players who will be participating in the corresponding day’s U.S. Open Championship play. Points will be awarded based on the three (3) chosen individual player’s performance during the corresponding day’s U.S. Open Championship play in accordance with the points legend set forth within the App. At the end of each Daily Entry Period, the top two (2) participants in point standings will receive a prize, as described below. In the event of a tie in point standings for either of the top two (2) standings, Sponsor will select winner(s) and award the prizes by conducting a random drawing from all tied participants in any such top two standings. Any leaderboard on the Website is for entertainment purposes only. A participant is not a winner of any prize, regardless of the leaderboard, until such participant has been notified by Sponsor and confirmed as a winner. You must be logged into your account to earn points.
The App’s database clock will be the official timekeeper for participation in this Promotion. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually registers for an account and participates in the Promotion cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected participant will be deemed ineligible. The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate registration information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Promotion. Participation through commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Promotion. The use of any device to automate participation is prohibited. The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.
Limit one (1) Account per person and/or per e-mail address.
WINNER NOTIFICATION: All potential prize winners will be notified by telephone and/or e-mail, using contact information provided or collected at the time of account registration. Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate prize winner may be selected.
