The Prize
Following the end of the Sweepstakes Period, a representative of the Sweepstakes Sponsor will conduct a random draw from all Ballots received and select one Ballot for the Prize. The Eligible Player associated with the selected Ballot will, subject to these Sweepstakes Rules, receive a trip for two (2) to the 2008 Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Tournament (January 16-20, 2008), including round trip economy airfare from the continental U.S. airport hub closest to the home of the selected Eligible Player, double-occupancy hotel accommodations for 4 nights, ground transportation to and from Nassau International Airport in the Bahamas, one (1) round of golf during the trip (but not as part of the 2008 Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational), and access to other activities and/or events as the Sweepstakes Sponsors may determine in their sole discretion (collectively, the "Prize").
The selected Eligible Player and his/her guest, if any, are solely responsible for (i) any income taxes based on the Prize, (ii) any service charges, taxes, health insurance and cancellation insurance, meals, personal expenses, gratuities and any other incurred fees not outlined in these Sweepstakes Rules, and (iii) any transportation to and from the continental U.S. airport hub referenced above and any costs associated with travel to and from such airport hub. The selected Eligible Player and his/her guest, if any, must be legally able to travel to, from, and within the United States and the Bahamas. Any necessary travel documentation such as valid passports and entry visas are the sole responsibility of the selected Eligible Player and his/her guest.
The approximate retail value of the Prize is $4,500.00 USD.
The odds of winning the Prize depend on the number of Ballots in the Random Draw. Sweepstakes Sponsors are unaware of how many Ballots there may be.
The Prize is not transferable. No substitutions or cash redemptions are allowed for the Prize.
ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES, AND ANY OTHER COSTS, EXPENSES AND INCIDENTALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF THE PRIZE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER.

These documents must be government-issued identification that shows the winner's name and age, or such other documents which the Sweepstakes Sponsors deem to be satisfactory to confirm that the winner is an Eligible Player. By way of example, this could include the winner's driver's license or passport. If a winner cannot provide these documents proving he/she is an Eligible Player, he/she will forfeit the Prize; and
- The winner may be required to verify his/her identity by providing proof that he/she is the authorized holder of the UTour Golf account associated with the e-mail address registered to that UTour Golf account.

If the winner cannot be reached by Friday, November 9th, 2007 or if the winner declines the Prize or does not meet all of the above Prize Award Requirements within a reasonable period (as determined by the Sweepstakes Sponsors), another Ballot will be selected for the Prize ("Alternate Winner").
