4 Playing Instructions.
4.1 Using the information shown in the photograph displayed on the computer screen (from which the original ball has been permanently erased), use your skill and judgment to correctly identify the pixel which you consider the judge will decide is the most likely position of the centre of the ball.  Click on the screen to mark this spot (you can see your spot’s coordinates on the screen). The computer will register this spot as your entry into the competition.

4.2 When you are ready to purchase your selection(s) follow the on-screen instructions to provide your contact details and then your credit/debit card details.  When your card payment is cleared, we will then contact you by e-mail to confirm your entry into the competition.  

4.3 When entering a competition online, you will not be deemed entered the competition until we confirm your ticket details back to you by e-mail.  

4.4 You must retain this e-mail as confirmation of your entry and to validate your entry and be eligible to win the prize.

4.5 If you play the ‘FREE GAME’ this is used to test you skill and deter some people from playing and in no way guarantees that you will win the real/Money competitions if you get a high score.

5 Determination of the winner. 
5.1 The competition may finish either on a date advertised or after the sale of a pre-determined number of pixels or a combination of both.  

5.2 For each individual competition, the centre of the ball position will be determined by an independent judge (usually an independent sporting expert appointed by the Spot The Shot), using his experience and in the presence of a lawyer and a representative from the Spot The Shot.  The judge's chosen position will then be computed against the database of coordinates of all entries to calculate which of the competitors is closest to the judge’s position, and therefore the winner of the prize.  

5.3 The winner will be the person who correctly identifies the pixel which the centre of the ball is judged to be located. Some of our competitions will award prize money to the nearest pixel to the judged location and this will be indicated on the Terms for the respective competition.

5.4 In the event of a tie, the joint winners will share the prize. All decisions of the judge will be final and binding on the competitors and no correspondence will be entered into.

6 Notification and identification of the winner. 
6.1 The winner of each competition will be notified at the verified email address details within 14 days of the closing date of the relevant competition.  

6.2 Any entrant may check the results of competitions completed within the last 6 months on our website www.spottheshot.com.

6.3 Some winners will be required to send a copy of their passport or other identification to the Spot the Shot to confirm their identity, age and also to prove that, if the purchase was made by credit/debit card, the card was legally theirs or they had authorisation to use it, before any prize will be paid or delivered.  Following receipt and verification of the details above by the Promoter, the winner will be contacted in order to make arrangements of the prize. In the event that the winner does not send the requested documents to the Promoter and/or the winner’s details cannot be verified, after 10 days from and including the date the winner was identified, the original winner will be deemed replaced by the person judged to have submitted the second best entry. If the second winner cannot be identified within 10 days from the date the second winner was identified then he/she will be replaced by the third best entry, and so on until we can verify the identity of a winner.

6.4 The winner may also be asked to provide photographs for use in future marketing by the Promoter.
