("Yards"); (ii) predicting the total number of Yards that will be
accrued by the Selected Running Back during the Round ("Predicted Yards");
and (iii) predicting the total number of rushing attempts accrued by the

In
connection with a Round Entry, Players will earn one
(1) point for each Yard accrued by such Player's Selected Running Back during
each Round. In the event that a Player who has previously participated in any
Round or Rounds submits his/her Round Entry after the commencement of a Round,
or otherwise fails to submit a Round Entry prior to the Round Entry Deadline, such
Player will be assigned an "automatic" Selected Running Back (an "Auto-Pick")
for that Round; provided, however,
that fifteen (15) points will be deducted from Player's Total Round Score (as
defined below) for any such Auto-Pick Round, if any. For purposes of the Game,
the running back selected as the Auto-Pick will be the individual running back
that (i) from the commencement of the Game, and up to the applicable Round
Entry Deadline of the current Round, has accrued the greatest number of
cumulative Yards, and (ii) has not yet been selected by Player as the Selected
Running Back (the "Auto-Pick Running Back"). If two (2) or more running
backs meet the Auto-Pick criteria, the individual running back that has accrued
the fewest "carries," as of such Round Entry Deadline, will be that Player's
Auto-Pick Running Back. If two (2) or more running backs still meet the Auto-Pick criteria,
the running back whose last name begins with the letter closest to "A" will be
that Player's Auto-Pick Running Back. There are no prizes awarded to Players
for Auto-Pick Rounds. Each Player will be assigned a maximum of three
(3) Auto-Picks during the Game. For purposes of the Game, Player's cumulative
number of points awarded during each Round shall be deemed such Player's "Total Round Score," and the cumulative
sum of all of a Player's Total Round Scores shall be deemed such Player's "Total Game Score." Following the final Round, the Round in
which Player earned the lowest Total Round Score during the Game ("Discard
Round") will be excluded from the calculation of Player's Total Game
Score. Players may submit only one (1) Round Entry
for each Round. Additional Round Entries from any individual, using different
e-mail addresses or any other system of multiple entries, will be disqualified.
Lost, late, illegible, incomplete or misdirected entries are not eligible.
Determining
Winners: The Game will have one
(1) winner per Round and one (1) overall grand prize
winner (each, a "Winner"). Subject to these Official Rules, the
individual Player with the highest Total Round Score in a particular Round will be
the Winner for that Round (a "Round
Winner"), and the individual Player with the highest
Total Game Score upon the conclusion of the Game, as set forth in these
Official Rules, will be the grand prize Winner (the "Grand Prize Winner"). Round Tie-Breaking Procedure: (a) In the event of a tie between Players
at the end of any Round, the Round Winner will be that Player whose Predicted
Yards for such Round is closest to the actual total number of Yards accrued by
the Selected Running Back in that Round; (b) if such Players remain tied
after the Predicted Yards tie-breaking procedure (as would be the case with identical
Round Entries), the Round Winner will be that Player whose Predicted Rushing
Attempts for that Round is closest to the actual total number of rushing
attempts accrued by the Selected Running Back in that Round; and (c) if
such Players remain tied after the Predicted Rushing Attempts tie-breaking
procedure (as would be the case with identical entries), the Winner will be
that Player demonstrating superior knowledge and confidence by submitting
his/her Round Entry at the earliest time,
based on the actual documented time of Player's Round Entry as reflected in the
Athlon e-mail server. Any Player who does not submit a Round Entry for a
particular Round will not be eligible to win prizes for that Round,
regardless of whether Player was assigned an Auto-Pick. Grand Prize Tie-Breaking Procedure: (a)
In the event of a tie between Players at the end of the Game, the Grand Prize
Winner between such Players will be that Player whose Predicted Yards for all
Rounds is closest to the actual total number of Yards accrued by all of
Player's Selected Running Backs for all Rounds; and (b) if Players
remain tied after the Predicted Yards tie-breaking procedure (as would be the
case with identical Round Entries), the Grand Prize Winner will be that Player
whose Predicted Rushing Attempts for all Rounds is closest to the actual total
number of rushing attempts accrued by all of Player's Selected Running
Backs in all Rounds; and, (c) if Players remain tied after the Rushing
Attempt tie-breaking procedure (as would be the case with identical entries),
the Grand Prize Winner will be that Player demonstrating superior knowledge and
confidence by submitting his/her final entry
at the earliest time, as between the tied Players and based on the
actual documented time of Player's Round Entry as reflected in the Athlon
e-mail server. Athlon and Sponsor reserve the right to award equal
prizes to any tied Players as long as the sum total of all prizes awarded is
equal to the approximate retail value ("ARV") of the prize designated for
that prize.
